1 Tracing hot-spring facies and their geothermally silicified microbial textures into the terrestrial geologic record: Relevance for Mars biosignature recognition K.A. Campbell, D.M. Guido, J.D. Farmer, M.J. Van Kranendonk, S.W. Ruff, F. Westall

Mars Analogs, Early Life on Earth photo: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JHUAPL/ASU Sisyphi Montes Ackiss et al (May) Coeval past volcanic activity + surface water on Mars on Earth habitable extreme environments Rapid mineralization by silica, carbonate or iron potential to preserve microbial fossils in situ; tracking post-depositional biosignature quality Textural-mineral biosignatures distributed along environmental gradients parallels to some Early Archean ( Ga) hydrothermal settings on Earth ( Mars?)
