TL;DR: The Curiosity rover discovered fine-grained sedimentary rocks, which are inferred to represent an ancient lake and preserve evidence of an environment that would have been suited to support a martian biosphere founded on chemolithoautotrophy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the surface enrichment is the result of a minor amount of transport and deposition by aqueous processes on the surface of olivine-bearing basalts.
