Bilingual glossary of geology

A layered and mound-like biogenic sedimentary structure formed by the interaction between the trapping and binding action of cyanobacteria and shallow marine sediment. Fossilized stromatolites represent some the Earth's earliest life forms, yet they still form on certain modern-day shallow sea floors, such as in Shark's Bay, Australia.
