Endostromatolites: Life in extreme environments and lessons for the detection of life on Mars
Finely laminated carbonate columns---endostromatolites, grow in carbonate rock fissures in permafrost regions. Their formation is thought to be microbially mediated but the processes of accretion are thought to be very slow and possibly intertwined with abiotic mineralization processes. The samples...
