Martian Dust: What Role Could Magmatic Gas have Played in its Chemical Signature?
Abstract
Magmatic vapor-deposited phases can be an important source of Fe, S, and Cl in the dust. Mg- and Ca-sulfate can be contributed to the dust by aeolian abrasion of friable sulfates on dust grains formed through magmatic gas/mineral dust interaction.
