Selection of the Mars Science Laboratory Landing Site (2012, background): “1999; Malin and Edgett 2000, 2001a, 2001b) possessing an intriguing sequence of phyllosilicate-bearing layers beneath sulfate-bearing layers, implying at least some of the sequence was deposited in an aqueous setting (Milliken et al. 2010).”
Sequence of infilling events in Gale Crater, Mars: Results from morphology, stratigraphy, and mineralogy (2013, methodology): “Small Yardangs Units [56] The Syu1 consists of cohesive sediment containing sulfates and clays [Milliken et al., 2010].”
Mineralogy of the Martian Surface (2014, background): “Sulfate detections are amalgamated from Murchie et al. (2009a), Milliken et al. (2010), Ackiss & Wray (2012), and Carter et al. (2013), edited to remove locations with ambiguity regarding hydrated silicates.”
The Sedimentary Rock Record of Mars: Distribution, Origins, and Global Stratigraphy (2012, methodology): “…is intriguing in that it captures several different orbital facies and, remarkably, may in a single section record the global transitions from clay to sulfate to anhydrous Fe-oxide stages of Mars’ environmental evolution, effectively chronicling the ‘‘drying out’’ of Mars (Milliken et al. 2010).”
Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Science Investigation (2012, background): “The geology, mineralogy, context, and description of potential exploration targets of the Gale crater field area are presented in Malin and Edgett (2000), Anderson and Bell (2010), Milliken et al. (2010), and Thomson et al. (2011).”
Water and Brines on Mars: Current Evidence and Implications for MSL (2013, background): “In particular, there is evidence that Gale Crater has salts such as sulfates, had water activity in the past, and have clays (Pelkey et al. 2004; Milliken et al. 2010).”
The Sample Analysis at Mars Investigation and Instrument Suite (2012, background): “other regions may instead be mixed-layer chlorite/smectites (Milliken et al. 2011).”
Mineralogy of a Mudstone at Yellowknife Bay, Gale Crater, Mars (2014, background): “Interpretation of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter CRISM (Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer forMars) visible–near-infrared (IR) spectroscopy suggests the presence of hydratedminerals in sedimentary layers at the base of the mound (7).”
Impact-generated hydrothermal systems on Earth and Mars (2013, background): “In terms of post-impact clays, there are numerous good examples of these occurrences in the current literature (e.g., Holden intra-crater fill deposits (Grant et al., 2008), Eberswalde, Jezero (Ehlmann et al., 2009), and Gale crater (Milliken et al., 2010)).”
