Rb-Sr Geochronology by Laser Ablation of Neutral Atoms by Miniature Mass Spectrometry on Sulfate Minerals: Possible Applications for In-Situ Analysis on Mars
Abstract
We examine the possibilities of Martian in-situ dating techniques using a miniature mass spectrometer. We also discuss the potential of the mineral jarosite for in-situ Rb-Sr dating using martian model Rb-Sr reservoirs.
