Dr. Wächtershaüser favors some mineral surface like iron pyrites, also known as fool's gold.
The term lustre refers to the general appearance of a mineral surface in reflected light.
When the cover eventually enveloped the cycle and broke free of the mineral surface, the first cell was born.

Microorganisms may cause disaggregation of minerals through colonization and physical penetration of the mineral surface [ 35].
This will seal the area and keep the surfaces protected.
Unless they are protected by mineral surfaces or undergo polymerization or cyclization (Ito et al., 2006; Cox and Seward, 2007), amino acids are likely to be destroyed by deamination, decarboxylation, and dehydration at temperatures above 240 260°C and even at ∼170°C in the presence of certain mineral assemblages (Bada et al., 1995; Faisal et al., 2007; McCollom, 2013a).
Mineralogy, surface charge characteristics, and precipitation of amorphous Fe and Al oxides on clay mineral surfaces define the capacity of clay minerals to adsorb and potentially protect SOC [21].

Adsorption of WEOM to soil mineral surfaces has wide ecosystem implications, since adsorbed organic matter molecules are now believed to be more protected from microbial decomposition reactions.
