Figure F116. Photomicrographs of mineral particles from Hole 1188A showing possible bacterial habitation. Ground samples (<100 µm) of (A) exopolymer cluster (Sample 193-1188A-8R-1, 18-20 cm; 59.58 mbsf), (B) flaky particles composed of volcanic glass (Sample 193-1188A-9R-1, 137-140 cm; 68.97 mbsf), and (C) mineralized bacteria (Sample 193-1188A-13R-1, 50-53 cm; 106.8 mbsf) are shown.
