  1. Silver vs Baryte (planetary science edition)

    Silver occurs as trace element in primitive chondrites and iron meteorites. Silver isotope ratios for chondrites are similar to those on Earth suggesting no fractionation.

    Baryte has not yet been detected on Mars but calcium sulfates are common and some rocks in Gale crater are enriched in barium.

    The photos unfortunately have no scale indicated (except for the early1950's Willys Wagon).

    ✧ Baryte ✧

    Baryte is a mineral consisting of barium sulfate (BaSO4). Generally white or colorless, it is the main source of the element barium, an alkaline earth metal. It is found across the world and can be deposited through biogenic and hydrothermal processes or evaporation. Early records of baryte date to the 16th century, when a radiating form...
