Back-scatter SEM (A) and XFM (B) of the mixed inoculation surficial experiment showing highly weathered primary mineralogy of the CRD. Calcium-rich secondary minerals (B—green) are seen precipitating between discreet minerals, forming a linking cement. High resolution BSE-SEM (C; EDS data not shown) suggest calcium carbonate minerals with a large number of individual nucleation sites
