High subcritical water-rock interaction for the formation of ferric minerals, in the absence of oxygen, UV light and microorganisms

The formation of ferric minerals on the anoxic early Earth is usually explained with the action of microorganisms or UV light in acidic conditions. Results show that amorphous and crystalline ferric oxides and silicates can form in the absence of oxygen, microorganisms and UV light, when rocks, loca...
