Magnetofossil Abundances are Associated with Distal Deltaic Bottomsets and Low Sedimentation Rates in the Guadalquivir Basin, Spain; Implications for the Recovery of Biosignatures from Jezero Crater and Oxia Planum, Mars
Abstract
Rock magnetic data from sediments of the Guadalquivir Basin relate preferential formation and preservation of magnetofossils to clay-rich sediments accumulated slowly in distal, deep water deltaic bottomsets, of prime astrobiological interest in Mars.
