Graphical abstract of the new research paper. The scientists collect samples from the rocks forming near hot springs and geysers. They dissolve small amounts of the rock in acid and organic carbon (created by living organisms) remains behind.

Harrat Lunayyir basalt cinder cones and lava flows in Saudi Arabia seen from an aerial perspective. Deposits from the cinder cones cover nearby ridges and form fans at the base of the older non-volcanic ridge in the background. These well-preserved geomorphic forms indicate the relative youth of this northern part of the volcanic field.
