Evidence for magmatic evolution and diversity on Mars from infrared observations

Article Abstract:

A highly effective strategy is used for compositional mapping that combines the Mars Odyssey Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) and Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) data, selecting TES pixels within mapped THEMIS units for detailed spectroscopic analysis and to extend the mineralogic mapping achieved with TES to spatial scales. Olivine basalts are observed on crater floors and in layers exposed in canyon walls up to 4.5 km beneath the surface.

On Earth, as it is on Mars?

Article Abstract:

NASA launched one of the rovers named Opportunity, targeted at Terra Meridiani, a region where orbital reconnaissance had indicated abundant crystalline haematite, a mineral whose precursors usually form in water. NASA's rover team interpreted the haematite spheres as concretions that are hard, compact mineral accumulations of different composition from their surrounding rock, which is similar to the large haematite marbles found in Utah.
