I'm Not sure if this is an evolutionary question or not. I'm familar with 
the finding of chemosynthetic organisms at the benthic part deep sea 
trenchs. I know this changed the field of evolutionary science as it was 
once understood. 
I don't remember where I had originally heard this but wasn't their the 
discovery of some kind of silicate based life form? The idea struck me 
that it was possible due to the bonding nature of both elements. However, 
I haven't been able to find any such information.I would appericiate it if 
you could awnserthis question for me. As well as tell me where i would be 
able to find more information.
