HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Boris Chauviré from the CNRSJoseph University have published the research: Arthropod entombment in weathering-formed opal: new horizons for recording life in rocks, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
- what: The authors demonstrate that opal forming through continental weathering can preserve insects and traces of organic compounds nearly as efficiently as hydrothermal siliceous sinters or amber.
- future: This provides new prospects for life evolution studies by demonstrating that silica entombment can occur during opal formation through the weathering process which is more widespread than highly localized hydrothermal settings.
