“…The geochemistry of the crater infill is of volcanic origin, despite the wide and inappropriate use of the term sedimentary that mainly recalls deposition in water in the mind of a geologist. It is now clearly evident that Gale crater was filled by lava coming from Tyrrhenus Mons (Gasparri et al, 2019). Nothing different than something already observed at Gusev (McSween, Wyatt, et al, 2006;McSween, Ruff, 2006), Palos (Leverington, 2006), or elsewhere on Mars (Leone, 2016).…”

“…The findings of Pathfinder at the debouchment of Ares Vallis (Foley et al, 2003; Rieder et al, 1997), on the other side of Chryse Planitia far away from the landing site of Viking 1, of Spirit at Gusev crater (McSween, Wyatt, et al, 2006; McSween, Ruff, et al, 2006), of Opportunity at Sinus Meridiani (Arvidson et al, 2006), and of Curiosity at Gale crater (Payré et al, 2017), revealed andesitic and basaltic compositions or presence of specific minerals like tridymite (Morris et al, 2016) more consistent with volcanic (Sautter et al, 2015, 2016) rather than aqueous activity, even if thought to be transported there by putative fluvial processes (Le Deit et al, 2013). In reality, Gale crater revealed to be just another lava‐filled crater (Gasparri et al, 2019) like Gusev crater (Greeley et al, 2005; McSween, Ruff, et al, 2006) or Palos crater (Leverington, 2006). The centimeter scale of the observed structures in the so‐called sedimentary material, including conglomerates (Mangold et al, 2016) or mudcracks found at Gale (Stein et al, 2018), is too small to justify 154 km of crater filled with water.…”
