What is a stomalite?

Answer 1

Do you mean stromatolite? If so, a stromatolite is a structure formed from layers of sediment cemented together by the biofilm of a certain microorganism, such as cyanobacteria. Ancient stromatolites are fossils of one of the very first organisms on Earth. Modern stromatolites are also found in a few select locations around the world
