Microphotographs of fossilized networks in open vesicles and veins in subseafloor basalt. a, b Sample 197-1206-4R-2: dense network of interconnected fossilized hyphae, tissue structures and spherical structures restricted to a single spot on the vesicle wall; the latter is lined with montmorillonite, and a few calcite crystals are present. c, d Sample 197-1205-34R-5: side of large fracture that has been cracked open; the fracture wall is covered with zeolite crystals, and a coherent network of fossilized filaments and cluster-like structures that extend throughout the fracture
