![]() high res (0.5 M) low res (118 K) | 4181e --- This image shows a fossilized elongated microbe resting in a hollow in clay minerals from the meteorite NAKHLA. The microbe appears to be somewhat corroded and partly covered with the remains of biofilm (slime generated by living cells). It closely resembles many kinds of earth bacteria. |
