“This lagoon could be one of the best modern examples of the earliest signs of life on Earth,” said Hynek, professor in the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) and Department of Geological Sciences. “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen or, really, like anything any scientist has ever seen.”
“It’s just amazing that you can still find undocumented things like that on our planet,” he said.
It will be interesting if this pans out. However, it is a long time for something like that to survive. More likely it is something mimicking the stromatolite system. Either way, nature bats last on the unexpected.
