Over the past decade, our knowledge of the geochemical and mineralogical diversity of
Martian rocks has greatly increased. Rocks on the surface of Mars are older than most …

We provide detailed background, theoretical and practical, on the specific heat of minerals
and mixtures thereof,'astro-materials,'as well as background information on common …

The first samples collected by the Mars 2020 mission represent units exposed on the Jezero
Crater floor, from the potentially oldest Séítah formation outcrops to the potentially youngest …

Martian meteorites are the only direct samples from Mars, thus far. Currently, there are a total
of 262 individual samples originating from at least 11 ejection events. Geochemical …

We review the radiometric ages of the 16 currently known Martian meteorites, classified as
11 shergottites (8 basaltic and 3 lherzolitic), 3 nakhlites (clinopyroxenites), Chassigny (a …

Mass-independent isotopic anomalies define two cosmochemically distinct regions: the
carbonaceous and non-carbonaceous meteorites, implying that the non-carbonaceous …

Several recent studies have revealed that Mars is not a simple basalt-covered planet, but
has a more complex geological history. In Gale crater on Mars, the Curiosity rover …

The Máaz formation consists of the first lithologies in Jezero crater analyzed by the Mars
2020 Perseverance rover. This formation, investigated from Sols (Martian days) 1 to 201 and …

The rover Opportunity has investigated the rim of Endeavour Crater, a large ancient impact
crater on Mars. Basaltic breccias produced by the impact form the rim deposits, with …

The oxidation state of basaltic martian meteorites is determined from the partitioning of
europium (Eu) in their pyroxenes. The estimated redox conditions for these samples …
