Summary

[edit]
Description

Olivine is a greenish-colored silicate mineral common in many mafic igneous rocks. On Mars, olivine has been detected in Nili Fossae, Ganges Chasma (in Valles Marineris) and even in Martian meteorites. Studying possible areas of olivine can help to understand the weathering rates of silicates in the harsh Martian environment.
