特殊能力

能力

Oxygen Producer

Fossilized Algae has the ability to produce oxygen because its living ancestors released this vital gas, transforming Earth's early atmosphere.

能力

Rock Builder

Fossilized Algae can build layered rock formations like stromatolites, because ancient algal mats trapped sediment, gradually growing and solidifying over millennia.

能力

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.
