Reconsidering the Abiotic Assumption for Geometric Particles in Martian and Terrestrial Thin Sections

It is a common assertion in geology that microscopic geometric shapes – such as straight-edged squares and rounded circles seen under thin-section microscopy – are products of purely abiotic processes. Indeed, many Earthly thin sections do contain abundant square-like features (from mineral cleavage or crystal habits) and circle-like features (from ooids, framboids, or spherical precipitation). However, the visual similarity alone does not confirm the particles’ origin as strictly abiotic. The classification as “abiotic” rests on prevailing geological interpretations that favor crystal habit, fracturing, or chemical nucleation as sufficient explanations, provided there is no accompanying evidence of biological structure.
Yet, the same microscopic shapes – when found on Mars – should not be dismissed as definitively abiotic without further scrutiny. If these geometric particles appear with additional context – such as organized, repeating cellular-like arrangements, potential cell walls, pits, vessels, or consistent tissue-like structures -then the purely abiotic explanation becomes incomplete or insufficient.

Key point:
On Earth, the assumption of abiotic origin is practical but not absolute. It relies on:
- The chemical identity matching known minerals.
- Geological context supporting non-biological growth.
- The absence of bridging biotic structures.
Therefore, if Martian examples show identical shapes yet occur with signs suggesting organized biological patterns or fossilized cellular tissue, the default abiotic model must be re-examined. The burden shifts to careful contextual analysis, detailed chemical tests, and systematic comparison with both abiotic crystal habits and confirmed fossilized biotic structures.

Conclusion:
The presence of squares and circles alone is not diagnostic of abiotic origin. What matters is the full context -structural arrangement, chemical signature, isotopic data, and the presence (or absence) of biological microarchitecture. Without this, the “abiotic by default” label remains an assumption – not a proof. Therefore, I invite open scientific debate and direct side-by-side comparison of Martian and Earth thin sections, so that the abiotic vs. biotic interpretations can be tested with objective evidence, not assumed dogma.
