Aqueously altered igneous rocks sampled on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars
The Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater, Mars, to investigate ancient lake and river
deposits. We report observations of the crater floor, below the crater's sedimentary delta …

Compositionally and density stratified igneous terrain in Jezero crater, Mars
Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine,
lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on …

Geological evidence for multiple climate transitions on Early Mars
Landforms and deposits observed on the Martian surface suggest that Mars' early climate
supported rivers and lakes over a time span of more than a billion years. But, like Earth …

An olivine cumulate outcrop on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars
The geological units on the floor of Jezero crater, Mars, are part of a wider regional
stratigraphy of olivine-rich rocks, which extends well beyond the crater. We investigated the …

InSight constraints on the global character of the Martian crust
Analyses of seismic data from the InSight mission have provided the first in situ constraints
on the thickness of the crust of Mars. These crustal thickness constraints are currently limited …

Diverse and highly differentiated lava suite in Jezero crater, Mars: Constraints on intracrustal magmatism revealed by Mars 2020 PIXL
The Jezero crater floor features a suite of related, iron-rich lavas that were examined and
sampled by the Mars 2020 rover Perseverance, and whose textures, minerals, and …

The Tharsis mantle source of depleted shergottites revealed by 90 million impact craters
The only martian rock samples on Earth are meteorites ejected from the surface of Mars by
asteroid impacts. The locations and geological contexts of the launch sites are currently …
