On the why's and how's of clay minerals' importance in life's emergence
2020, Applied Clay ScienceCitation Excerpt :The potential relevance of clay minerals to origin of life research has been recognised several decades ago (Bernal, 1951; Greenland et al., 1962; Cairns-Smith, 1966, 1982; Solomon, 1968; Odom et al., 1979; Rao et al., 1980; Ponnamperuma et al., 1982).
Influence of the nature of the gas phase on the degradation of RNA during fossilization processes
2020, Applied Clay ScienceCitation Excerpt :Plus, despite their high potential for biopreservation (e.g. Ehlmann et al., 2008; Summons et al., 2011; Cai et al., 2012; Kennedy et al., 2014; Wacey et al., 2014; McMahon et al., 2018) and despite their continuous formation at the surface of the Earth since the Hadean (Hazen et al., 2008, 2013), smectitic clay minerals have rarely been used in fossilization experiments (Wilson and Butterfield, 2014; McMahon et al., 2016; Naimark et al., 2016; Newman et al., 2019; Viennet et al., 2019a). Because of their ability to adsorb, protect, concentrate, and transform biomolecules, clay minerals such as smectites are believed to have played a major role in the origin of life (Bernal, 1951; Cairns-Smith, 1966; Hazen et al., 2008, 2013; Meunier et al., 2010; Brack, 2013). Yet the exact impact of clay minerals on biomolecules during fossilization processes remains to be carefully investigated experimentally.
