Stromatolites (from ancient Greek στρῶμα stroma, German 'blanket' and λίθος lithos 'stone') are biogenic sedimentary rocks formed by the capture and binding of sediment particles or the precipitation of dissolved substances as a result of the growth and metabolism of microorganisms in a body of water. They are mostly stratified and often consist of very finely stratified limestone.
