Red de lagunas halladas en Argentina dan pistas de la vida en la Tierra hace más de 3.000 millones de años

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:44:56 GMT

(CNN) — Científicos descubrieron un ecosistema previamente oculto con un extenso sistema de lagunas en las llanuras saladas de la Puna de Atacama, una meseta árida en Argentina, con estromatolitos gigantes, que podrían permitir vislumbrar la vida más temprana en la Tierra y posiblemente incluso en Marte, según nueva investigación.Los estromatolitos son rocas en capas creadas por el crecimiento de algas verdiazules, o cianobacterias, a través de la fotosíntesis. Según la NASA, las estructuras se consideran uno de los ecosistemas más antiguos de la Tierra y representan la evidencia fósil más antigua de vida en nuestro planeta de hace al menos 3.500 millones de años.“Estos son ciertamente similares a algunos de los primeros macrofósiles de nuestro planeta, y en un tipo de ambiente realmente raro en la Tierra moderna”, dijo Brian Hynek, profesor del departamento de ciencias geológicas de la Universidad de Colorado Boulder, quien ayudó a documentar el ecosistema. “Son u...
