Montana Stromatolite Identification

Stromatolite is a realistic Montana fossil profile built around layered dome or column built by microbial mats in shallow water. In this state, success usually comes from learning dinosaur-bearing mudstones, glacial gravels, and marine shales, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
