Growth of synthetic stromatolites and wrinkle structures in the absence of microbes - implications for the early fossil record.
Stromatolites and wrinkle structures are often taken to be an important indicator for early life. While both may be shaped by microbial mat growth, this can be open to doubt, so that the contribution of abiotic processes in their construction always needs to be established (Grotzinger and Knoll, 199...
