A sample of the Volyn biota with multiple filaments with claw-like ends growing from a common centerVolyn biota filaments with varying diameters
The Volyn biota are fossilized microorganisms found in rock samples from miarolitic cavities of igneous rocks collected in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. It is within the historical region of Volyn, hence the name of the find. Exceptionally well-preserved, they were dated to 1.5 Ga, within the "Boring Billion" period of the Proterozoic geological eon.[1][2]
