Early Archean origin of heterodimeric Photosystem I
When and how oxygenic photosynthesis originated remains controversial. Wide uncertainties exist for the earliest detection of biogenic oxygen in the geochemical record or the origin of water oxidation in ancestral lineages of the phylum Cyanobacteria. A unique trait of oxygenic photosynthesis is that the process uses a Type I reaction centre with a heterodimeric core, also known as Photosystem ...
متن کاملArchean spherule beds : Impact or terrestrial origin ?
We agree with Glikson [1] that the identification of Precambrian impact deposits is an important and largely unresolved problem, and thank him for providing us with an opportunity to further discuss our mineralogical and geochemical results [2] on the enigmatic spherule layers in the Barberton Mountain Land of South Africa. We note, however, that unfortunately Glikson has not been able to name ...
متن کاملClues from Fe isotope variations on the origin of early Archean BIFs from Greenland.
Archean rocks may provide a record of early Earth environments. However, such rocks have often been metamorphosed by high pressure and temperature, which can overprint the signatures of their original formation. Here, we show that the early Archean banded rocks from Isua, Akilia, and Innersuartuut, Greenland, are enriched in heavy iron isotopes by 0.1 to 0.5 per mil per atomic mass unit relativ...
متن کامل6 Early Archean Spherule Beds in the Barberton Mountain Land, South Africa: Impact or Terrestrial Origin?
The origin of multiple spherute-rich layers of millimeter to meter width, all occurring within the transition from the Fig Tree to the Onverwacht Group of the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa, has been strongly debated during the last decade. One school subscribes to an origin by large meteorite impact, whereas others have preferred terrestrial processes. In particular, strong enrichme...
متن کاملOrigin and Significance of Archean Quartzose Rocks at Akilia, Greenland
Archean Quartzose Rocks at Akilia, Greenland Fedo and Whitehouse (1) presented data to support their hypothesis that granulite grade quartz magnetite rocks on the island of Akilia, southwest Greenland—which are conformably interposed with pyroxenite and hornblendite units that date from before 3830 million years ago (Ma) (2–4)—had a metasomatic ultramafic igneous origin. They offered that inter...
