Nature Geoscience misled by geologists
CBS news and Nature Geoscience journal recently reported (notes 1, 2)
that geologists of Kansas University (note 3) found no fossil in
samples of 3.5-billion-year-old Apex Chert Formation of western
Australia.
However, I found many mammalian red blood cell fossils right in the
micrograph of the above-mentioned geologists:

It’s a fact that organisms could fossilize into different minerals
(note 4). In this case, red blood cells mineralized into quartz. Red
blood cells have also been found to mineralize into magnetites (note
5).
That does not mean there were mammals on Earth 3.5 billion years ago.
That simply means the red blood cell fossils moved with water into the
rock much later than 3.5 billion years ago. Likewise, bacteria could
also move into the 3.5-billion-year-old rock layer much later.
