Microbial biosignature preservation in carbonated serpentine from the Samail Ophiolite, Oman
Detection of material preserved in a mineralized fracture likely indicate microbial remains and dubiofossils and suggests serpentinizing environments can preserve morphological evidence of rock-hosted microbial life, according to analyses of drill core samples from the Samail Ophiolite in Oman.
