Abstract
The study of volcanogenic and volcanogenic–sedimentary rocks (Early Proterozoic pillow lava of Karelia and South Africa), where diverse fossilized bacteria (prokaryotes) and probably even eukaryotes shows that, during this early period, conditions of cooling lava flows and igneous rocks were favorable for bacterial development and colonization.
