An olivine cumulate outcrop on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars
The geological units on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars, are part of a wider regional
stratigraphy of olivine-rich rocks, which extends well beyond the crater. We investigated the …

On the diversity and formation modes of martian minerals
A systematic survey of 161 known and postulated minerals originating on Mars points to 20
different mineral‐forming processes (paragenetic modes), which are a subset of formation …

Surface clay formation during short-term warmer and wetter conditions on a largely cold ancient Mars
The ancient rock record for Mars has long been at odds with climate modelling. The
presence of valley networks, dendritic channels and deltas on ancient terrains points …

Orbital evidence for more widespread carbonate‐bearing rocks on Mars
Carbonates are key minerals for understanding ancient Martian environments because they
are indicators of potentially habitable, neutral‐to‐alkaline water and may be an important …

Refining the age, emplacement and alteration scenarios of the olivine-rich unit in the Nili Fossae region, Mars
Abstract The Nili Fossae region of Mars exhibits from remote sensing spectral data the
largest exposures of olivine-rich materials on the planet. However, it is not clearly …

Spectral properties of anhydrous carbonates and nitrates
The spectral properties of anhydrous carbonates and nitrates are dominated by strong,
sharp vibrational bands due to the CO32− and NO3− anions observed as absorption bands …

Global investigation of olivine on Mars: Insights into crust and mantle compositions
We present the distribution of olivine on Mars, derived from spectral parameters based on
the 1 µm olivine absorption band. The olivine can be defined with respect to two spectral …
