The Archean Chitradurga schist belt (>2600 m.y.) is ideal for the investigation of morphological and chemical remnants of early life because of the presence of distinct sedimentary units. Available data so far, has not indicated the presence of undoubted microfossils from the Chitradurga belt. Possible microfossils from the Dodguni area are the only reliable evidences of early life from the Chitradurga schist belt.
