Clay mineral formation under oxidized conditions and implications for paleoenvironments and organic preservation on Mars

In the Gale Crater on Mars, organic matter has been detected, but in much lower concentrations than expected. Here, the authors conduct clay mineral synthesis experiments which suggest that clay minerals may rapidly form under oxidized conditions and thus explain the low organic concentrations in Ga...
