Extended Data Fig. 6: Redox stratification and location of glauconitic facies into the Gale Crater Lake according with the Goldschmidt sedimentation sequence.

From: Long-lasting habitable periods in Gale crater constrained by glauconitic clays

Extended Data Fig. 6: Redox stratification and location of glauconitic facies into the Gale Crater Lake according with the Goldschmidt sedimentation sequence.

The sedimentary facies displayed to the left are similar to those reported by Hurowitz et al.36 in the Gale crater. These facies correspond to the Goldschmidt sequence14, characterized by the presence of glauconite between coarse/fine-grained detrital sediments and carbonates (on Earth) and saline deposits.
