“…The spectra were related to the molecular structure of the minerals with characteristic Raman bands attributed to the Si-O-Si stretching and bending vibrations and the (Si-O terminal) stretching vibration (Frost et al, 2010a;Rinaudo et al, 2004). Raman miscrospectroscopy has also utilized to show water sorption in both the lattice and interlayers of vermiculite and muscovite (Haley et al, 1982).…”

“…Concerning the clays, two types were detected: (1) kaolinite and (2) site (Haley et al, 1982). For last, the kaolinite present several active Raman bands at 258, 333, 393, 461, 510, and 640 cm À1 (Frost et al, 2001).…”

“…Moreover, the complete mineral species are depicted on Table 1. The identification of the mineral species has been done considering the following references: Fe-oxides (Jubb and Allen, 2010;Rull et al, 2007), Ti-oxides (Lukačević et al, 2012;Sekiya et al, 2001), Si-oxides (Karwowski et al, 2013;Zotov et al, 1999), carbonates (Buzgar and Apopei, 2009;Koura et al, 1996), sulfates Chio et al, 2005), silicates (Freeman et al, 2008), zeolites (Chen et al, 2007;Frost et al, 2014) and clays (Frost et al, 2001;Haley et al, 1982;Martens et al, 2002) (see Table 2). Also, the RUFF database and the Unidad Asociada spectra collection have been used for the identification (Downs et al, 2015).…”

The outcrop of ''Los Azulejos" is visible at the interior of the Cañ adas Caldera in Tenerife Island (Spain). It exhibits a great variety of alteration processes that could be considered as terrestrial analogue for several geological processes on Mars. This outcrop is particularly interesting due to the content of clays, zeolite, iron oxides, and sulfates corresponding to a hydrothermal alteration catalogued as ''Azulejos" type alteration. A detailed analysis by portable and laboratory Raman systems as well as other different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Mö ssbauer spectroscopy has been carried out (using twin-instruments from Martian lander missions: Mö ssbauer spectrometer MIMOS-II from the NASA-MER mission of 2001 and the XRD diffractometer from the NASA-MSL Curiosity mission of 2012). The mineral identification presents the following mineral species: magnetite, goethite, hematite, anatase, rutile, quartz, gregoryite, sulfate (thenardite and hexahydrite), diopside, feldspar, analcime, kaolinite and muscovite. Moreover, the in-situ Raman and MicroRaman measurements have been performed in order to compare the capabilities of the portable system specially focused for the next ESA Exo-Mars mission. The mineral detection confirms the sub-aerial alteration on the surface and the hydrothermal processes by the volcanic fluid circulations in the fresh part. Therefore, the secondary more abundant mineralization acts as the color agent of the rocks. Thus, the zeolite-illite group is the responsible for the bluish coloration, as well as the feldspars and carbonates for the whitish and the iron oxide for the redish parts. The XRD system was capable to detect a minor proportion of pyroxene, which is not visible by Raman and Mö ssbauer spectroscopy due to the ''Azulejos" alteration of the parent material on the outcrop. On the other hand, Mö ssbauer spectroscopy was capable of detecting different types of iron-oxides (Fe 3+/2+ -oxide phases). These analyses emphasize the strength of the different techniques and the working synergy of the three different techniques together for planetary space missions.

“…The saw tooth effect was minimized by one spline correction on the baseline using 50 to 60 points. The Raman peak positions were determined by Gaussian profiling using spectral commercial software packages and peak identification was done by consultingthe RRUFF database spectra collection as well as the relevant literature; Fe-oxides (Jubb and Allen, 2010; Rull et al, 2007), Ti-oxides (Luka cevi c et al, 2012;Sekiya et al, 2001), Si-oxides (Karwowski et al, 2013;Zotov et al, 1999), carbonates (Buzgar and Apopei, 2009;Koura et al, 1996), sulfates Chio et al, 2005), silicates (Freeman et al, 2008), zeolites (Chen et al, 2007;Frost et al, 2014) and clays (Frost et al, 2001;Haley et al, 1982;McKeown et al, 2009), organics (Daly, 2015;Huang et al, 2010).…”

This work details the laboratory analysis of a suite of 10 samples collected from an inverted fluvial channel near Hanksville, Utah, USA as a part of the CanMars Mars Sample Return Analogue Deployment (MSRAD). The samples were acquired along the rover traverse for detailed off-site analysis to evaluate the TOC and astrobiological significance of the samples selected based on site observations, and to address one of the science goals of the CanMars mission: to evaluate the ability of different analytical techniques being employed by the Mars2020 mission to detect and characterize any present biosignatures. Analytical techniques analogous to those on the ExoMars, MSL and the MER rovers were also applied to the samples. The total organic carbon content of the samples was <0.02% for all but 4 samples, and organic biosignatures were detected in multiple samples by UV-Vis-NIR reflectance spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy (532 nm, time-resolved, and UV), which was the most effective of the techniques. The total carbon content of the samples is < 0.3 wt% for all but one calcite rich sample, and organic C was not detectable by FTIR. Carotene and chlorophyll were detected in two samples which also contained gypsum and mineral phases of astrobiological importance for paleoenvironment/habitability and biomarker preservation (clays, gypsum, calcite) were detected and characterized by multiple techniques, of which passive reflectance was most effective. The sample selected in the field (S2) as having the highest potential for TOC did not have the highest TOC values, however, when considering the sample mineralogy in conjunction with the detection of organic carbon, it is the most astrobiologically relevant. These results highlight importance of applying multiple techniques for sample characterization and provide insights into their strengths and limitations.
