Pumice as a remarkable substrate for the origin of life. by Brasier, M, Matthewman, R, McMahon, S, Wacey, D

“…Hitherto, the problem has largely been addressed in terms of theoretical and experimental chemistry plus evidence from extremophile habitats like modern hydrothermal vents and meteorite impact structures. Here, we argue that extensive rafts of glassy, porous, and gas-rich pumice could have had a significant role in the origin of life and provided an important habitat for the earliest communities of microorganisms. …”

The observation of chemiluminescent NiO* emissions in the laboratory and in the night airglow by W. F. J. Evans, R. L. Gattinger, A. L. Broadfoot, E. J. Llewellyn

“…The feature was positively identified as the chemiluminescent FeO* emission where the iron is of meteoric origin. Since the meteorite source of atomic metals in the mesosphere contains both iron and nickel, with Ni being typically 6 % of Fe, it is expected that faint emissions involving Ni should also be present in the night airglow. …”
