Abstract

Abstract

Large amounts of microfossil records have been discovered in the seafloor black smoker chimney from the Okinawa Trough. They preserve good shapes,many of which can be divided into four kinds of filamentous microfossils. It suggested that the fossils may be derived from sulfur or iron oxidation chemolithotrophic prokar yotes and fungi. Two steps of biomineralization were hypot hesized based on the comparison studies of the microbial mineralization processes:(1)biology-controlled mineralization;(2)biology-induced mineralization. At the earlier stage the biology-controlled mineralization is as a main process,at the later stage biomineralizalion is dominated by the biology-induced mineralization.The composition of the fluids and the species of the microbes will decide the types of the minerals formed.
