...this case are said to be the byproducts of metabolic processes. The PAH molecules were recovered from cracks in the rock, which means they were probably deposited after the rock was formed, and not left behind by heating and cooling. Also present in the samples are magnetite and iron sulfide, which on Earth are associated with bacterial action.
