30 Mar 1984 | | Journal: | Science, 223 (4643), 1407-1409 | | Abstract: | Fossil worm tubes of Cretaceous age preserved in the Bayda massive sulfide deposit of the Samail ophiolite, Oman, are apparently the first documented examples of fossils embedded in massive sulfide deposits from the geologic record. The geologic setting of the Bayda deposit and the distinctive mineralogic and textural features of the fossiliferous samples suggest that the Bayda sulfide deposit and fossil fauna are remnants of a Cretaceous sea-floor hydrothermal vent similar to modern hot springs on the East Pacific Rise and the Juan de Fuca Ridge. | | Source: | PubMed, pmid17746052 doi: 10.1126/science.223.4643.1407 | | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites | |
