Gale crater X-ray amorphous components - Supplemental materials

Supplemental tables for Smith et al. manuscript entitled "X-ray amorphous components in sedimentary rocks of Gale Crater, Mars: Evidence for ancient formation and long-lived aqueous activity" submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. In this manuscript, we calculate the compositions of the bulk X-ray amorphous components found in 19 sedimentary rocks in Gale crater, Mars, and use crosscutting relationships and geologic context to constrain their formation mechanisms and timing. The tables in this Supplementary Materials contain the inputs for the calculations, as well as the resulting compositions and data used for the figures in the manuscript.

本补充表格配套于提交至《地球物理学研究杂志：行星》（Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets）的Smith等人学术论文，论文标题为《火星盖尔撞击坑（Gale Crater）沉积岩中的X射线无定形组分（X-ray amorphous components）：古老形成与长期水活动的证据》。在该论文中，研究团队对火星盖尔撞击坑内19块沉积岩中发现的整体X射线无定形组分的组成开展了计算，并利用穿插关系与地质背景约束其形成机制与形成时限。本补充材料中的表格包含了计算所需的输入参数、最终得到的组分结果，以及论文配图所用的相关数据。
