Statistical physics and stromatolite growth: new perspectives on an ancient dilemma
M T Batchelor, R V Burne, B I Henry +1
This paper outlines our recent attempts to model the growth and form of microbialites from the perspective of the statistical physics of evolving surfaces. Microbialites arise from…

A case for biotic morphogenesis of coniform stromatolites
M. T. Batchelor, R. V. Burne, B. I. Henry +1
Mathematical models have recently been used to cast doubt on the biotic origin of stromatolites. Here by contrast we propose a biotic model for stromatolite morphogenesis which con…
