K-Rich Rubbly Bedrock at Glen Torridon, Gale Crater, Mars: Investigating the Possible Presence of Illite
Abstract
Rubbly bedrock sampled by Curiosity at Glen Torridon, Mars are enriched in K2O. Glen Torridon is clay-rich from orbital data. We investigate if this K enrichment could be due to the presence of illite from ChemCam data, as no drill has been done.
