Micrographia: Specimens: Bacteria (Monera): Cyanobacteria. Introduction to the Blue-green Algae. Cyanobacteria are the earliest creatures to be preserved in the fossil record. Stromatolites, calcareous structures formed during the growth of dense colonies of cyanobacteria, have been found in rocks 2.5 billion years old, and the fossil record shows that through the Proterozoic aeon, from about 2500 million to 600 million years ago, the cyanobacteria were the dominant life-form on Earth.
