Thrombolites at Lake Clifton, Western Australia

Thrombolites are ancient forms of microbial communities and resemble the earliest forms of life on Earth. Scientists know little about the thrombolites and why they form at Lake Clifton, but one theory is that they form because the lake is associated with upwellings of fresh groundwater that is high in calcium carbonate. The micro-organisms living in this environment are able to precipitate calcium carbonate from the waters as they photosynthesise, forming the mineralised structure that is the thrombolite.
