Biosignatures of diverse eukaryotic life from a Snowball Earth analogue environment in Antarctica
Abstract The ephemeral, supraglacial meltwater ponds of the McMurdo Ice Shelf’s undulating ice serve as analogues for refugia where eukaryotic organisms could have thrived during the Cryogenian period. The seafloor sediment and debris lined ponds support the growth of a diverse array of cyanobacteri...
