A case for olivine on MarsResults are reported which support earlier proposals that olivine may be an important phase on Mars. The analysis is based on the similarity of the laboratory reflectance spectrum of ALHA 77005, a meteorite proposed to be from Mars, and the telescopic spectrum of a dark area north of Hellas on Mars (15 S, 300 W). The Mars spectrum is shown as well as a continuum spectrum that, when divided into the Mars spectrum, reveals the absorption feature produced by the surface rocks and soil.
