Lithology: Fine-grained, well-sorted sedimentary rock likely deposited in a lacustrine setting; an olivinebearing coarse mudstone. The rock primarily contains detrital olivine and aqueous alteration products of olivine (e.g., serpentine) plus minor salts. Minor phases detected may include chromite, ilmenite, apatite, and zircon/baddeleyite. No clear evidence of sand-sized pyroxene or feldspar was observed. The rock contains little, if any, evidence of sulfate minerals and a possible/weak fluorescence signal potentially related to organics.
