Image Modern stromatolites, Bahamas

Image 16.3 Cambrian stromatolites

Ancient stromatolites form columns. Modern stromatolites grow in the intertidal zone. A cross section reveals layering similar to that seen in ancient stromatolites. Microbes live on the surface of the stromatolite. Sediment is deposited on the microbes,......which grow upward through the sediment, forming a new layer.
