Igneous Compositions in the Rim of Jezero Crater Using Supercam Data

The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater on February 18th, 2021. After exploring the crater floor and some crater fill, including the delta and the margin unit, Perseverance entered the crater rim campaign on Sol 1252. We started to encounter outcrops of the crater rim on Sol 1293. The goal of this campaign is to better understand the geological diversity of the Jezero rim, and targeting the pre-Jezero Noachian basement. The investigation of the crater rim, including its igneous minerals and rocks, will allow to better constrain the igneous history of Mars during the Noachian and pre-Noachian. It will also help to unravel the origin of igneous rocks and detrital minerals found in the delta and the margin. In the first ~100sols of the crater rim campaign, we have already encountered various textures, mineralogies, and bulk lithologies, including pyroxenites, gabbros, and silica (Si)-rich rocks, and were able to analyze single igneous minerals of pyroxene, olivine, and plagioclase. Here we present data from sol 1293until sol 1357.
