A Possible Fossil in a Graphitic Marble in the Connemara Schist, Cornamona, Co. Galway, Ireland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
A network texture made of graphite with calcite filling the holes is described from an area of staurolite-garnet grade of metamorphism. It is pointed out that this is the earliest texture preserved in the rock, and that it resembles a cellular structure and may therefore be of organic origin, possibly a primitive plant. At present, however, it is not certain that the structure is organic in origin.
