In the state of Coahuila, Mexico, there is a very special place, just 290 km from the border with Texas: the oasis in the Cuatro Ciénegas Basin. Souza et al. describe how the geology of the basin has given rise to a unique chemistry and a community of organisms that have survived for eons and are found nowhere else on Earth.
在墨西哥科阿韦拉州，有一个非常特别的地方，距离与德克萨斯州的边境仅 290 公里：四泉谷流域的绿洲。Souza 等人描述了该流域的地质如何形成了独特的化学性质和生物群落，这些生物已经存在了数亿年，在地球上其他任何地方都找不到。
