Life caused explosion in our planet's mineral wealth

As life has evolved into all its abundance and diversity, Earth's rocks have come along for the ride. Two-thirds of the kingdom of minerals – the building blocks of rocks – can be traced to the emergence of life, say geologists.

Rock-Eating Bacteria "Mine" Valuable Metals

These mineral-crunching microorganisms are a type of bacteria that use minerals as their source of energy. When the life-forms break down the matter through metabolism, they squeeze out metal ores or concentrates combined with sulfur in a process called bioleaching.

Precious Gems Discovered on Mars

The discovery of a water-based mineral on Mars by the spectrometer on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter suggests liquid water remained on the planet's surface a billion years later than was previously thought, and it likely played an important role in shaping the planet's surface and possibly hosting life. Hydrated silica, commonly known as opal, has been found across large region of Mars. "This is an exciting discovery because it extends the time range for liquid water on Mars, and the places where it might have supported life," said Scott Murchie, the principal investigator for the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md. "The identification of opaline silica tells us that water may have existed as recently as 2 billion years ago.

Water-rock interaction on Mars discovered

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has revealed a hydrated mineral similar to opal. Its presence in these relatively young rocks indicates that water interacted with them as recently as two billion years ago.

New Signs That Ancient Mars Was Wet

Images taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed Martian rocks containing a hydrated mineral similar to opal (these are light-toned and appear cream-colored in this false-color image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera). The opal minerals are located in distinct beds of rock outside of the large Valles Marineris canyon system and are also found in rocks within the canyon. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona
