"When we look at microstructures in rocks from the early Earth, can we be sure whether they are of a biological or non-biological origin?" Read this fantastic piece by @SeanFJ about the latest research on the morphology of alleged early traces of life on Earth!

🔎Prebiotically plausible molecules, under early Earth-like conditions, generate diverse microstructures, many of which are morphologically similar to purported early microfossils. @SeanFJ @ProtoSignsLab @DCUChemistry @ZitaMartins 🔗nature.com/articles/s43247-0…
