Alkaline fluid circulation in ultramafic rocks and formation of nucleotide constituents: a hypothesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Seawater is constantly circulating through oceanic basement as a low-temperature hydrothermal fluid (<150°C). In cases when ultramafic rocks are exposed to the fluids, for instance during the initial phase of subduction, ferromagnesian minerals are altered in...
