Near-infrared remote sensing data of Mars have revealed thousands ancient deposits Fe/Mg-rich smectitic clay minerals within the crust with relevance to past habitability. Diagnostic metal–OH infrared spectroscopic absorptions used interpret mineralogy these phyllosilicates occur at wavelengths 2.27–2.32 μm, indicating variable Fe/Mg ratios in structures. The objective this work is use near constrain smectites on Mars. Using seafloor as mineralogical and analogs for Martian minerals, we show...

Clay samples of hydrothermal origin from several oceanic spreading centers were studied using XRD, microprobe, infrared, and thermal analysis. They are talc, smectite, mixed-layer talc-smectite (T-S) where the talc layers have degrees crystalline order. The smectite is trioctahedral in most cases, but there also dioctahedral both as a separate phase. All specimens contain Fe3+, some them moderate amounts (up to 17% Fe2O3) distributed between tetrahedral octahedral sheets (maximum values:...

With the arrival of Curiosity on Mars, MSL has started its ground validation some phyllosilicate characterization carried out with remote sensing near-IR spectroscopy from orbital instruments. However, given limited range action rover, identification and will have to rely mainly data. Investigation Earth analogs can greatly assist interpretation martian spectra enable more robust analyses. In this contribution, Mg/Fe-rich clays submarine hydrothermal origin that had been thoroughly...
