CMM Image of the month winner!
July 2017
Image taken by Alan Levett on the JEOL 7100. Microbial cement - Microorganisms within iron-rich environments may become encrusted in iron oxide minerals. The 3D model allows us to investigate the timing of fossilisation and indicates that microorganisms are preserved in separate generations. For example, the replication of microorganisms gradually infills the pore spaces between grains, creating a 'microbial cement.' .
CMM collects images to share online with the broader community.
