    Characterisation of iron oxide encrusted microbial fossils

    Here, we present abundant mineralised cell envelope structures fossilised within a goethite-rich vein structure that cross-cuts a weathering BIF6. These indisputable microbial fossils provide a superb opportunity to understand potential mineralogical biosignatures preserved during microbial fossilisation by authigenic minerals. Rock fissures, fractures and pore spaces present ideal locations for the preservation of microorganisms as elements […] More
