Signs of
Life in Ancient Lava
New Straits Times (Malaysia), May
4—Tiny, bacteria-like organisms made their home in hardened
lava some 3.5 billion years ago, scientists reported last week
in a finding that pushes the limits of when life is known to
have started on Earth. The microbes, known as archaea, dug into
volcanic rock to form long tubes. A team from the United States,
Norway, Canada, and South Africa, including the Scripps Institution
of Oceanography, found evidence of the lava-burrowing archaea
in 3.5 billion-year-old rock in South Africa. (Quote by Hubert
Staudigel, a research geophysicist at the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography.)
