Bacteria in Ancient Rocks
In this video, Richard introduces an article about the finding of bacteria in sedimentary rock that is located beneath the seabed. This rock has been dated at over 100 million years by conventional methods, and yet some of these bacteria have been so intact, that is has actually been possible to revive them and bring them back to life. It would not be possible for these bacteria to survive millions of years and the findings can only mean that they are no more than a few thousand years old.
