… Mineralogy, sedimentary characteristics, and alteration features in these lake systems
are strikingly similar to those of the Burns formation at Meridiani Planum. We propose that
acid saline systems such as these once existed on Mars. These unusual environments and
their deposits are very different than other terrestrial lake deposits and their
sedimentological processes and products are only starting to be understood. Microbial …
