Abstract

This is the first report on the fossilized fibers found in the Archean banded manganese formations of the Chitradurga Greenstone Belt (2.8 Ga, South India), which are similar to the stalk fibers of modern Gallionella ferruginea Ehrenberg, 1838. We have therefore concluded that the intertwined and assembled stalk fibers provide indirect evidence for the presence of bacteria and biogenic mineral formation, but should not be considered as microorganisms.

在印度的太古代的铁细菌菌

摘要

这是关于在Chitradurga绿岩带（印度南部2.8 Ga）的太古宙带状锰岩层中发现的化石纤维的第一份报告，该化石纤维与1838年的现代加尔古内拉·弗鲁吉尼亚·埃伦贝格的秸秆纤维相似。缠结和组装在一起的茎纤维为细菌和生物矿物质的形成提供了间接证据，但不应被视为微生物。
