From: Fungal hyphae develop where titanomagnetite inclusions reach the surface of basalt grains

Figure 7

(a) Extended trench showing no evidence for grain alteration or the presence of titanomagnetite crystals at the grain surface. (b) The white arrow marks the location of a fungal hypha on the grain surface (hypha denoted by false-colored green) and (c) the location of a magnetite inclusion at depth. (d) The blue box provides an example of the grain surface with no near surface magnetite crystals or fungal-grain contacts. The magnetite inclusion highlighted in (c) occurred at ~ 10 µm into the grain as shown with magnified images contained in (e) yellow and (f) black boxes.
