Those are thrombolites! Ancient bacterial (?) colonies that are still alive, they turn the air and stuff into calcium deposits
Stromatolites? Yeah, relics of the first life on earth. Or are thrombolites different from stromatolites? Never heard of thrombolites.

The name “cyanobacteria” (from Ancient Greek κύανος (kúanos) ‘blue’) refers to their bluish green (cyan) color,[5][6] which forms the basis of cyanobacteria’s informal common name, blue-green algae.[7][8][9][note 2]
Common blue-green algae has magic properties!
