Fe-Phosphates in the Jezero Crater Fan: Implications for Habitability and Sample ReturnIn the ~1000 sols since the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landed on the floor of Jezero crater, it has traversed >23 km, carrying out analyses of the crater floor and western fan. The fan is comprised of sediments transported and deposited by streams that once flowed into Jezero crater in the late Noachian to early Hesperian[1]. Detailed investigation of the sediments and rocks of the western fan can thus provide insights into ancient fluvial to lacustrine environments on Mars, whether they were habitable, and/or if biosignatures maybe preserved.
