APXS‐Derived Compositional Characteristics of Vera Rubin Ridge and Murray Formation, Gale Crater, Mars: Geochemical Implications for the Origin of the Ridge

The resistant ~50 m thick Vera Rubin ridge (VRR) situated near the base of Mount Sharp, Gale crater, Mars, has been deemed a high priority science target for the Mars Science Laboratory mission. This is because of (1) its position at the base of the 5 km layered strata of Mount Sharp and (2) the det...
