Fungus-like mycelial fossils in 2.4-billion-year-old vesicular basalt
Re: Fungus-like mycelial fossils in 2.4-billion-year-old vesicular basalt
A really interesting article, much detail that's all totally new to me. You would never believe the amount of information that has been gathered from what are essentially shaped rocks, quite amazing. The parallel with extant fungi is interesting too.
Thanks for putting this link up Bill old chap. John B
