Cryptoendolith communities in Antarctic dry valley region sandstones: Potential analogues of Martian life-forms

We are studying cryptoendolith-bearing Antarctic sandstones, to determine if the microbes alter the elemental composition of the rocks. If there is an effect, then it might be a tracer for the presence of micro-organisms in martian surface materials.
