Carbonate Cements from the Sverrefjell and Sigurdfjell Volcanos, Svalbard Norway: Analogs for Martian Carbonates
Abstract
Carbonates from volcanos in Svalbard, Norway are the best analogs for martian carbonates from the ALH 84001 meteorite, the Comanche carbonate at Gusev Crater, and the Nili Fossae carbonate. The mineralogy of these cements is described.
