Figure 8From: Chromite oxidation by manganese oxides in subseafloor basalts and the presence of putative fossilized microorganismsSimplified sketch showing the main steps in the oxidation of chromites including weathering of the basalts, the influence of fluids, formation of carbonates, the possible involvement of microorganisms and above all the electron flow in the system, also illustrated by a redox equation.Back to article page
