'Fossil' 3.7 billion years old is once again shocking because it seems to be just normal stone

The latest evidence of life 3.7 billion years ago on Earth seems to be inaccurate.

Finding fossils is a difficult task, especially with fossils dating back to a long time, the smaller the probability of finding it. Finding bones A dinosaur lived 50 million years ago is considered a much simpler job than hunting for proof of life billions of years ago.

This fossil rock is actually just ordinary stone.

A new analysis suggests that scientists' first announcement may have been wrong. It seems that the rock thought to be fossil from this ancient age is actually just ordinary stone.

The strange shapes of pyramids on the rock were originally thought to be the presence of ancient microorganisms. However, a recent article published in Nature magazine accepted this.

These strange shapes certainly look similar to what can be created from fossil organisms, but recent research suggests that these rings are actually formed by erosion over time. The 3D image test showed that this rock was impacted by enormous pressure, causing it to be pressed, twisted into shapes like we can see from the picture.

Joel Hurowitz, the co-author of the study, said: "They are long and deep mountains. The shape is difficult to explain as a biological structure. Instead, it would be much easier if explain the mechanism of the pressure of squeezing, twisting the surface of the rock and creating such shapes ".
