The biomarkers and their stable isotopes show that methane was oxidized by aerobic bacteria, causing ocean acidification and CO2 emission from the Arctic Ocean during PETM. #PETM #IODP #biomarkers #methane #CO2

The Perseverance team discovered the rock formation in an ancient, now-dry riverbed in Jezero Crater, and instruments revealed that it's composed of clay and silt. On Earth, these are excellent preservers of past microbial life.
