Chrome spinel compositions as evidence for an Archaean ophiolite in the Kuhmo greenstone belt in Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1994 Investigations into chromite compositions in Archaean ultramafic rocks are rare. Most Archaean ultramafic rocks have undergone a multi-stage history of deformation and metamorphism, and therefore fresh primary chromite is rarely preserved.

Prebiotic aqueous reactions catalyzed by native nickel without hydrogen
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Serpentinizing (H2‐producing) hydrothermal vents are candidate environments for metabolic origin. They generate highly reducing conditions that convert CO2 to formate and methane in abiotic reactions resembling reactions of the acetyl‐CoA pathway of CO2 fixation. They also contain natural catalysts. Native nickel (Ni0), like Fe0, Co0, and their alloys,
