Gunflintia is an extant genus of cyanobacteria known to exist in Canada and Australia. It is about five micrometres wide and is known for being one of the first oxygen-producing cyanobacteria which helped raise oxygen levels in the atmosphere making Earth more habitable for other oxygen-using organisms. It is also one of the most common fossils in the Gunflint chert.
