In Situ Detection of Opal‐A in Jezero Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We report the in situ detection of amorphous hydrated silica in the Bills Bay abrasion patch, located in the eastern portion of the Margin Unit between the rim of Jezero crater and the western delta. Here, hydrated silica co‐occurs with olivine, Fe‐Mg carbonates, secondary Fe‐Mg silicates, and hydrated Mg‐sulfate as determined by UV Raman ...

Interpretable Machine Learning Biosignature Detection From Ocean Worlds Analogue CO2 Isotopologue Data

Earth and Space Science
Future missions to icy ocean worlds (OW) such as Europa and Enceladus will evaluate the habitability and potential for biosignatures on these worlds. These missions will benefit from autonomous science and machine learning (ML) methods to process high ...

Microscale mapping of alteration conditions and potential biosignatures in basaltic-ultramafic rocks on early Earth and beyond

, 2014
Subseafloor environments preserved in Archean greenstone belts provide an analogue for investigating potential subsurface habitats on Mars. The c. 3.5-3.4 Ga pillow lava metabasalts of the mid-Archean Barberton greenstone belt, South Africa, have been ...

Hydromagnesite Precipitation in an Ultramafic‐Hosted Alkaline Lake: Insights From Lake Salda for Jezero Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Lake Salda (SW Turkey) is one of the most compelling terrestrial analogs for Jezero Crater on Mars due to its highly alkaline, Mg‐rich waters and hydromagnesite‐forming microbialites. This study integrates hydrochemical measurements, saturation‐index modeling, SEM–TEM imaging, and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to disentangle the biotic and ...

Biosignatures Search in Habitable Planets

Galaxies, 2019
The search for life has had a new enthusiastic restart in the last two decades thanks to the large number of new worlds discovered. The about 4100 exoplanets found so far, show a large diversity of planets, from hot giants to rocky planets orbiting small

Taphonomy of biosignatures in carbonate nodules from the Mars-analog Qaidam Basin: constraints from microscopic, spectroscopic, and geochemical analyses

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Early diagenetic nodules with low permeable and weather-resistant structures are considered to be favorable for biosignature preservation. Numerous nodular structures forming in neutral-to-alkaline and saline diagenetic fluids were previously identified ...
