摘要: Strong evidence for evaporitic sulfate minerals such as gypsum and jarosite has recently been found on Mars. Although organic molecules are often codeposited with terrestrial minerals, there have no systematic investigations of components in minerals. We report here the detection material, including amino acids their amine degradation products, ancient Amino amines appear to be preserved geologically long periods mineral matrices. This suggests that should prime targets search compounds, those biological origin,
