Robert Folk, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology


This Journal of Sedimentary Petrology scholarly paper details the findings of Robert Folk, the "father of nannobacteria." Folk is credited with discovering nanobe structures in carbonate rocks, which he attributes to biomineralization processes by tiny life forms.
