Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars

The Perseverance rover has explored and sampled igneous and sedimentary rocks within Jezero Crater to characterize early Martian geological processes and habitability and search for potential biosignatures1–7. Upon entering Neretva Vallis, on Jezero Crater’s western edge8, Perseverance investigated distinctive mudstone and conglomerate outcrops of the Bright Angel formation. Here we report a detailed geological, petrographic and geochemical surve

Life on Mars? NASA discovers potential biosignatures in Martian mudstones - Science Tech Updates

Data and images from NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover reveals that recently discovered rocks in Jezero crater are organic carbon bearing mudstones. The findings, detailed in a paper published in Nature, indicate that these mudstones experienced chemical processes that left behind colorful, enigmatic textures in the rock that represent potential biosignatures. The paper, led by Joel […] The post Life on Mars? NASA discovers potential biosignatures …

Redox Minerals and Organics in Jezero Crater

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, researchers reveal compelling evidence of complex redox-driven mineral and organic associations within the Bright Angel formation of Jezero Crater on Mars. This work sheds new light on the early Martian sedimentary environment, highlighting not only the intricate interplay between iron and sulfur chemistry but also the tantalizing possibility […]
