Statistical physics and stromatolite growth: new perspectives on an ancient dilemma
This paper outlines our recent attempts to model the growth and form of microbialites from the perspective of the statistical physics of evolving surfaces. Microbialites arise from the environmental interactions of microbial communities (microbial mats). The mats evolve over time to form internally laminated organosedimentary structures (stromatolites). Modern day stromatolites exist in only a ...

متن کاملNo Stromatolites on Mars?
Stromatolites, photosynthetic microorganisms and Mars: Numerous upcoming martian missions will be searching for traces of life. With the observational instrumentation that will be available on future robotic missions, such as MSL and ExoMars, the most obvious traces to search for will be macroscopic to microscopic laminations produced by microbial mats, such as stromatolites. Stromatolites are ...
متن کاملThe Nature of Stromatolites: 3,500 Million Years of History and a Century of Research
Stromatolites are widely regarded as layered, early lithified, authigenic microbial structures – often domical or columnar in form – that developed at the sediment water interface in freshwater, marine and evaporitic environments (Fig. 1). In addition to this unusually wide environmental distribution, the exceptionally long geological record of stromatolites spans at least 3,500 million years (...

Vanyo, J.P. and Awramik, S.M., 1985. Stromatolites and Earth--Sun--Moon dynamics. Precambrian Res., 29 : 121--142. Inclination of stromatolite columns, caused by nonvertical direction of averaged incident solar radiation, provides a signal for deducing astronomical and geophysical data at time of stromatolite formation. A sample of Anabaria juvensis (Bitter Springs Formation, central Australia)...
