Buried Volcano-Hydrothermal Systems and Minerals on Mars
The pressure and temperature conditions on planet Mars have probably never permitted the presence of liquid water at its surface, as witnessed by unaltered olivines of any age since the Naochian. Nevertheless, iron sulphates at the surface suggest hydrothermal activity at some point in time and spac...

The pressure and temperature conditions on planet Mars have probably never permitted the presence of liquid water at its surface, as witnessed by unaltered olivines of any age since the Naochian. Nevertheless, iron sulphates at the surface suggest hydrothermal activity at some point in time and space, arguably at depth, from where minerals were expulsed by volcanic activity and/or “sweating out” during phases of heating upon meteorite impacts. Beneath the cryosphere, at depths between 4 and 10 km, the reigning P-T conditions meet the stability conditions of water and vapour, originating from a degassing magma. The sulphate dominance in Mars’ mineralogy mimics the terrestrial analogues of hyperacid and hypersaline fluids and minerals hosted in Earth’s most extreme crater lakes (e.g. Kawah Ijen, Poás, Copahue, Ruapehu, White Island) and ore depositing systems (e.g. high-sulphidation and porphyry systems).
