Well-preserved Archean pillow lavas from the ca. 3.35 Ga Euro Basalt of the Pilbara Craton,
Western Australia, contain micron-sized tubular structures mineralized by titanite (CaTiSiO4) …

Abstract The 3.2 Ga Dixon Island Formation in the Cleaverville Group of the coastal Pilbara
terrane, Australia, is one of the most complete and best-preserved examples of middle …

Microbial bioerosion of volcanic glass produces conspicuous ichnofossils in oceanic crusts
that are a valuable tracer of sub-surface microorganisms. Two morphologically distinct …

The oldest fossils found thus far on Earth are c. 3.49-and 3.46-billion-year-old filamentous
and coccoidal microbial remains in rocks of the Pilbara craton, Western Australia, and c. 3.4 …

Sedimentary rocks have traditionally been the focus of the search for Archean microfossils;
the Earth's oldest fossil bacteria are associated with carbonaceous matter in sedimentary …

Paleoarchean rocks from the Pilbara Craton of Western Australia provide a variety of clues
to the existence of early life on Earth, such as stromatolites, putative microfossils and …

Ancient microbial activity in volcanic glass creates micron-sized cavities that can be
regarded as trace fossils. These are common in glassy rims of oceanic pillow lavas and …

Fossil evidence of the existence of life during the Archean Eon of Earth history (> 2500Ma) is
summarized. Data are outlined for 48 Archean deposits reported to contain biogenic …

We question the biogenicity of putative bacterial andcyanobacterialmicrofossils' from3465
Ma Apex cherts of the Warrawoona Group in WesternAustralia. They arechallenged on the …

Silicified dolomites and black cherts from the Late Precambrian Skillogalee Dolomite of the
Adelaide Geosyncline of South Australia contain a small assemblage of organically and …
