TL;DR: Higher abundances of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the mudstone compared with Rocknest windblown materials previously analyzed by Curiosity suggest that indigenous martian or meteoritic organic carbon sources may be preserved in the Mudstone; however, the carbon source for the chlorinatedHydrocarbons is not definitively of martian origin.

TL;DR: The absence of predicted geochemical variations indicates that magnetite and phyllosilicates formed by diagenesis under low-temperature, circumneutral pH, rock-dominated aqueous conditions during the early history of Mars.

TL;DR: The Curiosity rover has analyzed abundant light-toned fracture-fill material within the Yellowknife Bay sedimentary deposits as mentioned in this paper, showing that these fracture fills consist of calcium sulfate veins, which appear to be hydrated at a level expected for gypsum and bassanite.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) target was acquired on Sol 13 of the landed portion of the mission (a Sol is a Mars day). Up to Sol 800, more than 188 000 LIBS spectra were acquired on more than 5800 points distributed over about 650 individual targets.

TL;DR: In-situ analyses reveal the presence of hydrogen within calcium sulfate veins crosscutting the sediments found in Gale crater as mentioned in this paper, which is consistent with a hyperarid climate and favored by burial or impacts.
