Perseverance discovered rocks filled with parallel mineral veins similar to ones on Earth referred to as “beef”. But now close-up images reveal that the veins are clogged with bits of other rocks and minerals that changes the origin story.

Mars Guy is Arizona State University associate research professor Dr. Steve Ruff, a Mars geologist with decades of experience exploring the red planet. This channel follows the exploration of Jezero crater by the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, presenting science, engineering, and the search for life on Mars using a novel in-person experience.

This project was initiated in part with collaboration from the NASA Infiniscope project.
