Sulfites and sulfates formed by weathering of early martian carbonates in a sulfur dioxide-bearing atmosphere

Abstract Despite ample evidence that extensive water–rock interactions occurred under a CO2-dominated atmosphere on early Mars, carbonate minerals are relatively rare at the surface. One possibility to explain this scarcity is that carbonates were initially abundant, but were later destroyed when at...
