    • Samples Collected From the Floor of Jezero Crater With the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover 

      Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (American Geophysical Union, 2023-02-09)
      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 rocks of the heavily cratered Máaz ...

    • Hand Magnets and the Destruction of Ancient Meteorite Magnetism 

      Vervelidou, Foteini; Weiss, Benjamin P; Lagroix, France (American Geophysical Union, 2023-04-06)
      Meteorites provide invaluable records of planetary formation and evolution. Studies of their paleomagnetism have constrained accretion in the protoplanetary disk, the thermal evolution and differentiation of planetesimals, ...

    • Carbonate Detection With SuperCam in Igneous Rocks on the Floor of Jezero Crater, Mars 

      Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (American Geophysical Union, 2022-12-14)
      Perseverance explored two geological units on the floor of Jezero Crater over the first 420 Martian days of the Mars2020 mission. These units, the Máaz and Séítah formations, are interpreted to be igneous in origin, with ...
