SCIENTISTS SAY ORGANISMS TRAPPED IN THIS ANCIENT ROCK MAY STILL BE ALIVE

We don’t wanna freak you out, but West Virginian scientists may have found a life form more than 800 million years old.

In a new paper published in the journal Geology, West Virginia University geologists say that some of the microorganisms found inside the Browne Formation, an 830 million-year-old rock found in the Australian desert, may still be alive — and if they are, it could help us find life on Mars, to boot.

Taking a piece of the Browne Formation, which includes halite salt crystals, the WVU researchers found organic liquids and solids using non-invasive optical techniques. Within those substances, they then found single-celled organisms known as prokaryotes, which have been discovered in the past to survive hundreds of millions of years when trapped inside salt crystals like the one inside that particular ancient rock.

“Only rock songs”

That makes it crystal clear.

I can’t remember where Biden is from, but it would follows the same scenario if they can find some rocks older than him.

IF one is a scientist that spelling is correct.

[Mr. K]

I love that movie

[Veto!]

I’d rather take my chances with an unknown organism that’s been sitting around for eons than with the morons in the White House. Couldn’t be worse.

[Veto!]

We’re living in a horror movie with Dems “in charge.” I’d rather take my chances with a new organism that just sat there for eons.

27. No, they are not micro-organisms. They are Helen Thomas cells.

Jafar thought 10,000 years struck in a lamp in the Cave of Wonders was bad.

It doesn’t end well.......:

Seen the movie also, that’s why I’m freaked out.

When you’re 830 million years old will you look so good?

Just add water? /s

Just like see monkeys!

[Fightin Whitey]

It’s only a clump of cells. Kill it.

I was thinking that maybe Neil Young dropped it.

...and they haven’t evolved?!?

That makes it crystal clear.

Marble it does, marble it doesn’t.

We shell see.
