Abstract
The history of bacterial paleontology is outlined. The author describes how the refinement of methods has lead to confirmation or rejection of proposed hypotheses. The role of ancient bacteria in the genesis of sedimentary rocks and the importance of bacterial paleontology for understanding the origin and evolution of weathering rinds and paleosols are emphasized. Incorporating this discipline into university curricula is important to attract young researchers to this field of study.
