Bio-mediated CN cycling in serpentinites and the origin of life
Based on these textural and geochemical observations, we propose a conceptual model that links C- and N-cycling during serpentinisation to chalcopyrite alteration (Fig. 4). Generally, olivine conversion to serpentine (Srp) can be described by…
