Hamersley Gorge: intrusive layer of fine-grained limestone

Hamersley Gorge: intrusive layer of fine-grained limestone near the base of the massive sequence of ironstone forming the Ranges, seeming to show a major extinction of primordial life nearly 2.5 billion years ago, caused by oxygen discharged by photosynthetic bacteria during the previous billion years. This deepwater limestone is formed of bacterial debris that gradually filtered down from the surface during that mass extinction. Karijini National Park, Pilbara region, Western Australia
