Devin Powell in the Washington Post today is reporting on a claim by Nora Noffke (http://aca.unsw.edu.au/profile-main/58),
a biochemist at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA, on the discovery of bacterial
traces in the Pilbara which "are the oldest fossils ever described".
Noffke was part of a group who presented the finding to the Geological Society of
America last month, so the evidence will now undergo further peer scrutiny.
