Volatile and organic compositions of sedimentary rocks in Yellowknife Bay, Gale Crater, Mars
H2O, CO2, SO2, O-2, H-2, H2S, HCl, chlorinated hydrocarbons, NO, and other trace gases were evolved during pyrolysis of two mudstone samples acquired by the Curiosity rover at Yellowknife Bay within Gale crater, Mars. H2O/OH-bearing phases included 2:1 phyllosilicate(s), bassanite, akaganeite, and a...
