Fall AGU 2005 - Felsic rocks discovered in Valles Marineris on MarsSpectral analysis of the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) infrared images in the Valles Marineris region on Mars show areas of rocks containing a highly felsic (quartz-bearing) nature. Similar materials have been identified in limited distribution one other region on the planet, but those deposits were not bedrock materials. This occurrence on the floor of a canyon in the Valles Marineris is a new discovery and the materials are present in bedrock form. Read more about it.
