The formation of low-temperature sedimentary pyrite and its relationship with biologically-induced processes by Cavalazzi, B., Agangi, Andrea, Barbieri, R., Franchi, F., Gasparotto, G.

“…This contribution is an updated review on sedimentary pyrite and on its role in well-consolidated research topics, such as the biogeochemical cycles and the studies on sediment-hosted ore deposit studies, as well as new frontiers of research, such as astrobiology. Textural and compositional information preserved in sedimentary pyrite from sediment-hosted ore deposits has contributed to elucidate their environment of forzmation. …”

Lunar Net-a proposal in response to an ESA M3 call in 2010 for a medium sized mission by Smith, A., Crawford, I., Gowen, R., Ambrosi, R., Anand, M., Banerdt, B., Bannister, N., Bowles, N., Braithwaite, C., Brown, P., Chela-Flores, J., Cholinser, T., Church, P., Coates, A., Colaprete, T., Collins, G., Collinson, G., Cook, T., Elphic, R., Fraser, G., Gao, Y., Gibson, E., Glotch, T., Grande, M., Griffiths, A., Grygorczuk, J., Gudipati, M., Hagermann, A., Heldmann, J., Hood, L., Jones, A., Joy, K., Khavroshkin, O., Klingelhoefer, G., Knapmeyer, M., Kramer, G., Lawrence, D., Marczewski, W., McKenna-Lawlor, S., Miljkovic, Katarina, Narendranath, S., Palomba, E., Phipps, A., Pike, W., Pullan, D., Rask, J., Richard, D., Seweryn, K., Sheridan, S., Sims, M., Sweeting, M., Swindle, T., Talboys, D., Taylor, L., Teanby, N., Tong, V., Ulamec, S., Wawrzaszek, R., Wieczorek, M., Wilson, L., Wright, I.

“…Though the LCROSS mission detected water from a permanently shadowed polar crater, there remains in-situ confirmation, knowledge of concentration levels, and detailed identification of potential organic chemistry of astrobiology interest. The planned investigations will also address issues relating to the origin and evolution of the Earth-Moon system and other Solar System planetary bodies. …”
