What we have is essentially something a bit like a Rorschach inkblot test, where there are some squiggles in a rock

You know what I'm seeing.

Sponge fossils do not clean so well
might as well use a rock

Back in Detroit in the 1970s, while cleaning out an old city garage, I found an ancient sponge in the corner of the floor. I was hard, black with oil and grime, and covered with dust, and I believe it predated the one in the article.

...before this life-friendly gas was common throughout the sea

Oxygen would not have been life friendly at first anymore than Fluorine is now. It's a highly reactive element. Fire is an obvious example of this.

Obviously life not only adapted but evolved a way to make Oxygen useful. We are lucky that plants did not.

Elaine Benes would say that this thread is sponge-worthy.
