Matej Lipar, Stromatolite (April theme: Detail)

Stromatolites are known from Shark Bay all the way along the Western Australian coast almost to the Margaret River. I was able to use a camera and the petrological microscope to see these primary earth creatures in detail, growing layer by layer and consequently making amazing pattern.
