1.5" Polished Columnar Stromatolite Skulls
These are 1.5" long skulls made from a columnar stromatolite fossil that has been meticulously sculpted and polished. The pictures are representative of the specimen(s) you will receive, so there may be some variation in shape and color.
This stromatolite formation resembles Australian Carawine Dolomite which would make it approximately 2.5 billion years old, however we are not able to verify the actual origin of this material.

About Stromatolites
Stromatolites are fascinating, ancient rock formations created by the activity of cyanobacteria and other microorganisms. These layered, mound-like structures represent some of the earliest evidence of life on Earth, dating back over 3.5 billion years. Often found in shallow, warm waters, stromatolites form as layers of sediment and minerals are trapped and bound by microbial mats, gradually building up over time into unique, textured shapes.
Visually, stromatolites can range from smooth, rounded forms to intricate, banded structures, with colors that span earthy reds, browns, greens, and grays. Each layer captures a record of environmental conditions at the time of its formation, making stromatolites an invaluable source of information for scientists studying Earth’s early history and the origins of life.
