Formation and Diagenesis of Sedimentary Rocks in Gale Crater, Mars

Formation and Diagenesis of Sedimentary Rocks in Gale Crater, Mars

The history of surface processes on Mars is recorded in the sedimentary rock record. Sedimentary rock layers exposed in Gale Crater on the modern crater floor (Aeolus Palus) and on Mount Sharp (Aeolus Mons), which hosts one of the more complete records of transitions between major mineralogical eras...
