Web ~ "The suffix "ite" is derived from the Greek word lithos (from its adjectival form -ites), meaning rock or stone."

Presumably, 叠层石 means literally "layered (叠层) rock (石)" (i.e. stromatolite) and 叠层 on its own just means "repeated layers".
Diff:
# 疊層石 叠层石 [die2 ceng2 shi2] /stromatolite/
# 疊層岩 叠层岩 [die2 ceng2 yan2] /stromatolite/
- 疊層 叠层 [die2 ceng2] /repeated layers/stratified/laminated/stacked/piled strata/stromatolite/
+ 疊層 叠层 [die2 ceng2] /repeated layers/stratified/laminated/stacked/piled strata/
