The additivity of organic life, as science now tells us, is something quite different from the superposition of characteristics added to one another like the layers forming a sedimentary deposit.

In a paper in the current issue of Geology, Mark Sephton of Imperial College London and his colleagues reveal that sedimentary rocks from that period — when they were on the bottom of a shallow sea — contain a pulse, or unusually elevated levels of organic material from soil and plants.
