In-Situ Crystallography Reveals Sulfate Precipitation on Mars
A recent study using in situ crystallographic mapping has shed new light on the precipitation and timing of sulfate minerals in Jezero crater, Mars. The research team used a technique called PIXL to analyze samples from three outcrops: Hogwallow Flats, Wildcat Ridge, and Berry Hollow. The analysis revealed that the sulfate minerals formed through a … Read more
