I believe that stromatolites are ancient fossils or at least it could be the kind of life that we can expect to find in Mars or other planets. So scientists study those cuz I has clues to the origin of more advanced forms of life in the Earth. I think they are pretty cool, I went to a tour in the river and at the end we got to the main hot spring, where the water comes out of the ground and I had the opportunnity to bring samples of stromatolites with me, but I dont know how to preserve them. Please can somebody tell me how to keep them?, so they wont break up, cause they break easily adn I would like to preserve them to keep them in my collection. Thanks a lot and hope to see you all soon! :) Rafael Blando Torres _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
