Two billion years ago, an igneous rock in northern South Africa formed. Not long after, some bacteria crawled into cracks in that rock, and got trapped inside when the cracks got plugged up by a bunch of clay. But that bacterial colony didn't die. It just sat around, doing its bacteria thing for billions of years, until scientists cracked that crack open.
