2 unusual facts about Stanley Awramik


Stanley Awramik

In 2003, he, Frank Corsetti and David Pierce published evidence in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of fossilized microbiota in Cryogenian rocks, a revelation which has cast doubt on the notion of the near elimination of life during potential equatorial glaciation during that period (commonly referred to as Snowball Earth).

In 1983, he discovered what was then considered to be the oldest evidence of life on earth, located in Western Australia.
