Stromatolites: why do we care?

Abstract: We apply the method of Diffusion Entropy (DE) to the study of stromatolites by means of a two-dimensional procedure that makes it possible for us to compare the DE analysis to the results of a compression method. As done with the compression method, we analyze two pairs of samples, one biotic and the other a-biotic. Each pair consists of a target, the putative stromatolite sample, and of its surrounding matrix. We use two different procedures, referring to single colors and to a color combination, respectively… Show more

“…As we have earlier mentioned the Kolmogorov complexity is not computable, and these techniques, directly or indirectly related to the concept of a Kolmogorov complexity, yield a computable measure measure of complexity. It is interesting to remark that, although these techniques are accurate, distinguishing with their help biotic from a-biotic systems remains a challenging issue [79,80] . It is interesting to notice that the field of complexity is reversing the current perspective.…”

“…Nestas lagoas podem ser observadas estruturas estromatolíticas (Ignaccolo et al, 2004). Conhecidas desde o Arqueano até o Holoceno , tais estruturas foram abundantes até o Neoproterozoico, porém no final do Proterozoico ocorreu grande declínio, tanto na diversidade quanto na abundância (Riding, 1991).…”
