The following statements concern organisms called stromatolites.  Which statements are true and which are false? Correct the false statements.   The oldest fossil stromatolites are between 3.5 and 3.9 billion years old.   No stromatolites are alive today.   Ancient stromatolites were composed of microbial mats layered with sediments.   The first stromatolites could fix CO2, but they did not produce O2.   Stromatolites form around deep sea vents.   Another name for stromatolites is “banded iron formations”.
