UV-VIS-NIR REFLECTANCE SPECTRA OF SHOCKED CARBONATES FROM THE HAUGHTON IMPACT STRUCTURE, DEVON ISLAND, CANADA: 0.35 – 2.5 μm; IMPLICATIONS FOR CARBONATE IDENTIFICATION ON MARS
Introduction: The identification of carbonates on Mars has remained tentative until very recently [e.g., 1-4, 5, 6]. Given that carbonates are present at or near the surface of Mars and appear to be stable in the present Martian atmosphere, it begs the question, why have we only just found them [7]? Is it because they are simply being masked by overlying material or are there other factors that...
متن کاملHeterotrophic microbial colonization of the interior of impact-shocked rocks from Haughton impact structure, Devon Island, Nunavut, Canadian High Arctic
The polar desert is one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Endolithic organisms can escape or mitigate the hazards of the polar desert by using the resources available in the interior of rocks. We examined endolithic communities within crystalline rocks that have undergone shock metamorphism as a result of an asteroid or comet impact. Specifically, we present a characterization of the h...

Introduction: The 23 km diameter and ~39 Ma Haughton impact structure, located on Devon Island, Canada, was formed in Cambrian to Silurian sedimentary rocks and Precambrian crystalline basement gneissic rocks [1]. Previous studies show that Haughton sandstones (" Hs ") have undergone melting at low pressures (<20 GPa; [2]). However, even though the presence of planar deformation features (PDFs)...
