biometriet
Biometriet is a hypothetical class of biomineral composites defined as mineral-like aggregates formed through microbial activity. The term blends biology with mineralogical concepts and is used in speculative discussions about how life can shape inorganic structures in ways that resemble meteoritic textures. In this framework, biometriet is not a widely accepted natural mineral, but a conceptual category for studying life–mineral interactions and their potential signatures.
Formation and characteristics of biometriet are described as processes in which microorganisms catalyze and organize mineral
Occurrence and study of biometriet are primarily in laboratory simulations and terrestrial analog environments, such as
Significance and debate: biometriet serves as a framework for discussing biosignatures in geology and astrobiology, but
