Stromatolites.

Described as the oldest living lifeforms on Earth, Stromatolites are "stony structures built by colonies of microscopic photosynthesizing organisms called cyanobacteria".  Living examples are found in western Australia -among other places- but fossilized examples are quite widespread.  this photo by James Kocher was taken in the Hoyt limestone at Saratoga Springs, New York.

Apparently, it was glacially planed. I don't have the patience for glacial planing.
