The Phalaborwa project is attractive, experts on critical minerals said, because it’s quicker to get up and running since it reprocesses the waste from an old gypsum site to extract rare earth ...

Sellam’s research focuses on gypsum, a mineral that forms rapidly and can trap microorganisms during its crystallization. His team discovered microbial fossils preserved within 5 to 5.5 ...

Siderite can form in multiple ways. But only evaporation would lead to highly pure siderite forming in the same geologic layer as the sulfate minerals the team identified, gypsum and starkeyite.

Around six million years ago, the Mediterranean Sea almost entirely evaporated, leaving behind minerals, such as gypsum, that hardened and trapped ancient bacteria as fossils within their layers.

Perhaps even more significant, the filaments were embedded in the gypsum and surrounded by dolomite, pyrite, and other clay minerals. According to the researchers ... supply elements which clay needs ...

These were embedded in gypsum, and surrounded by dolomite, clay minerals, and pyrite. The presence of these minerals signals the presence of organic life, because prokaryotes — cells without a nucleus ...

twisting fossil filaments embedded in the gypsum. These filaments were surrounded by dolomite, clay, and pyrite – minerals known to form in the presence of microbial life. Dolomite typically ...

One of these minerals is gypsum, which "has been widely detected on the Martian surface and is known for its exceptional fossilization potential," said Youcef Sellam, who is a PhD student at the ...
