Diversity of rock varnish bacterial communities from Black Canyon, New Mexico (2010, background): “In many ways, the botryoidal structures in cross section in Figure 9 resemble miniature stromatolites, a texture often argued as indirect evidence of deposition by living organisms [Allwood et al., 2006].”
