Under a black light, the chemicals fossilized within shine in brilliant hues of pink, blue and green.

Scientists are using these fluorescent features to understand how the caves formed and how life is supported in extreme environments.

Researchers will present their results at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS).

Sebree hopes to further confirm accuracy of the fluorescence technique by comparing it to traditional, destructive techniques.

He also wants to investigate the cave water that also fluoresces to understand how life on Earth 's surface has affected life deep underground.

The research was funded by NASA and the Iowa Space Grant Consortium .
