Resumen
The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) has returned observations of the Nili Fossae region indicating the presence of Mg-carbonate in small (<10km sq2), relatively bright rock units that are commonly fractured (Ehlmann et al., 2008b). We have analyzed spectra from CRISM images and used co-located HiRISE images in order to further characterize these carbonate-bearing units. We applied absorption band mapping techniques to investigate a range of possible phyllosilicate and carbonate minerals that could be present in the Nili Fossae region. We also describe a clay-carbonate hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblage in the Archean Warrawoona Group of Western Australia that is a potential Earth analog to the Nili Fossae carbonate-bearing rock units. We discuss the geological and biological implications for hydrothermal processes on Noachian Mars. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. 297 1-2 174 182 Baird, A.K., Clark, B.C., On the Original Igneous Source of Martian Fines (1981) Icarus, 45, pp. 113-123 Bandfield, J.L., Spectroscopic identification of carbonate minerals in the martian dust (2003) Science, 301, pp. 1084-1087 Bell, J.F., Spectroscopy of Mars from 2.04 to 2.44 Mu-M During the 1993 Opposition - Absolute Calibration and Atmospheric Vs Mineralogic Origin of Narrow Absorption Features (1994) Icarus, 111, pp. 106-123 Bibring, J.-P., Global Mineralogical and Aqueous Mars History Derived from OMEGA/Mars Express Data (2006) Science, 312, pp. 400-404 Bishop, J.L., Recognition of minor constituents in reflectance spectra of Allan Hills 84001 chips and the importance for remote sensing on Mars (1998) Meteorit.
