Résumé

In February 2021, the Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater. The crater floor was found to be composed of lava flows and cumulate rocks that have undergone some limited aqueous alteration; however, it is not clear whether this alteration is related to the lacustrine phase of the crater [1-7]. After completing its exploration of these igneous units, Perseverance drove towards the sedimentary fan located at the mouth of Neretva Vallis, a river valley that incised the western rim of the crater [8]. Between April and December 2022, the rover investigated the basal layers of the fan in two areas named Cape Nukshak and Hawksbill Gap, which are ~400 m apart [9]. After building a contingency cache for Mars Sample Return in a flat area adjacent to the fan [10], Perseverance climbed onto and explored the upper surface of the fan from February to September 2023. Here, we present a synthetic view of the chemostratigraphy and mineralogy of the fan based on data collected throughout the traverse by the SuperCam instrument suite. We show that the fan records a strong compositional diversity, which in turn reflects a complex aqueous history and variable alteration conditions.
