An Igneous Origin for Martian Magnetic Anomalies?
Introduction: The presence of alternately magnetized sources on Mars indicates that at one time Mars had a magnetic field, presumably generated by an internal dynamo, and that its polarity reversed at least once before shutting off. Mars does not currently possess a magnetic field, so the anomalies are attributed to remanent magnetization (RM) of minerals in the crust. The initiation and cessat...
متن کاملClay Minerals and Catalysis
More than half a century ago, Irish physicist John Desmond Bernal and Swiss geochemist Victor M. Goldschmidt independently proposed that clay minerals may have played an important role in prebiotic synthesis (Bernal 1949; Goldschmidt 1952). I concur that mineral catalysis must have had a central role in prebiotic synthesis because most uncatalyzed reactions start from simple precursors like hyd...
متن کاملClay Minerals: Adsorbophysical Properties
The structure and features of surfaces of clay minerals (kaolin, montmorillonite, etc) have an important scientific and practical value. On the surface the interrelation of processes at electronic, atomic and molecular levels is realized. Availability of mineral surface to external influences opens wide scientific and technical opportunities of use of the surface phenomena, so the research of c...
متن کاملOrganic protomolecule assembly in igneous minerals.
CH stretching bands, nu(CH), in the infrared spectrum of single crystals of nominally high purity, of laboratory-grown MgO, and of natural upper mantle olivine, provide an "organic" signature that closely resembles the symmetrical and asymmetrical C--H stretching modes of aliphatic -CH(2) units. The nu(CH) bands indicate that H(2)O and CO(2), dissolved in the matrix of these minerals, converted...
متن کاملBoron Enrichment in Martian Clay
We have detected a concentration of boron in martian clay far in excess of that in any previously reported extra-terrestrial object. This enrichment indicates that the chemistry necessary for the formation of ribose, a key component of RNA, could have existed on Mars since the formation of early clay deposits, contemporary to the emergence of life on Earth. Given the greater similarity of Earth...
