“…With respect to early Earth, impacts into basalts may provide the closest analogous geochemical environments, just as organic formation in ultramafic deepocean hydrothermal systems (Holm & Charlou 2001) are recognized as potentially valuable analogues for early Earth. The 1.8 km diameter, 50 000-year-old Lonar crater, India, resulted from an impact, which occurred into the Deccan traps volcanic province.…”

“…Serpentinite is also important as a deep -seated reservoir of H 2 O, which possibly plays a crucial role in arc magma genesis (e.g., Ulmer and Trommsdorff, 1995). The highly reduced fluids, H 2 and CH 4 , are released upon the serpentinization of peridotites (e.g., Holm and Charlou, 2001;Sleep et al, 2004), and they may control, at least partly, the redox condition of the mantle wedge (cf. Ishimaru et al, 2009) as well as the ecosystem on the ocean floor (e.g., Kelley et al, 2005;Evans, 2010;MĂŒntener, 2010), where mantle peridotite is exposed at shallow depths.…”

“…Biotic methanogenesis is usually associated with archaea, living under anaerobic conditions in wetlands, rice fields, landfills or the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants and termites. Abiotic formation of CH 4 has been reported to occur under conditions that require high pressure and/or temperature, for instance, during biomass burning or serpentinization of olivine, under hydrothermal conditions in the oceans' depths or below tectonic plates [5][6][7] . In the chemical industry, CH 4 is often produced from carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas under elevated pressure and temperature (cf.…”
