ChemCam Investigation of the Last Four MSL Drill Sites in the Murray Formation, Gale Crater, Mars

This study utilizes ChemCam data for outcrop surfaces, drill hole walls, tailings, and dump piles in the Middle Murray Formation to investigate chemical variations with depth in the drill holes and pos-sible effects of the drilling and sample processing. This work is a continuation of similar work o...

Description
Summary:This study utilizes ChemCam data for outcrop surfaces, drill hole walls, tailings, and dump piles in the Middle Murray Formation to investigate chemical variations with depth in the drill holes and pos-sible effects of the drilling and sample processing. This work is a continuation of similar work on drill sites at Yellowknife Bay [1], the Pahrump Hills [2], and the Stimson Formation [3].
