Fluid composition and mineral reactions at Yellowknife Bay, Mars
The Curiosity rover of Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) has identified and analysed, for the first time on Mars, a set of mudstones with nodules and Mg-rich veining, recording a history of deposition within a fluviolacustrine environment followed by low temperature alteration. The composition and miner...
