Geochemical constraints on the Hadean environment from mineral fingerprints of prokaryotes
Abstract The environmental conditions on the Earth before 4 billion years ago are highly uncertain, largely because of the lack of a substantial rock record from this period. During this time interval, known as the Hadean, the young planet transformed from an uninhabited world to the one capable of...
