Habilidades especiales
Habilidad
Oxygen Producer
Fossilized Algae has the ability to produce oxygen because its living ancestors released this vital gas, transforming Earth's early atmosphere.
Habilidad
Rock Builder
Fossilized Algae can build layered rock formations like stromatolites, because ancient algal mats trapped sediment, gradually growing and solidifying over millennia.
Habilidad
Time Capsule
Fossilized Algae has the ability to act as a time capsule because its preserved layers offer scientists clues about Earth's earliest environments and life.
