The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover has explored fluvio-deltaic, lacustrine, and aeolian strata as it climbed over 400 m in elevation over the first 2302 sols of its traverse. Curiosity’s Mast Camera (Mastcam) instrument is a pair of multispectral imagers covering visible to near-infrared (VNIR) wavelengths (445 nm - 1013 nm). Mastcam spectra can broadly distinguish between iron phases and oxidation states, and in combination with chemical data from other instruments, Mastcam spectra can help constrain mineralogy, depositional origin, and diagenesis. This dataset includes representative Mastcam spectra from >600 multispectral observations acquired across Curiosity’s traverse through Vera Rubin ridge …

The Cretaceous Alisitos Ocean Arc 3D Model version 1 (v1) is a publically accessible and interactive 3D arc crustal model, with geologic map overlays on Google Earth. The model provides a virtual field trip through the upper- to middle-crust transition in the exhumed 110 Ma southern Alisitos Arc, Baja California, Mexico. This region was chosen for the model as it exposes a structurally intact and minimally altered transition zone between heterogeneous volcanic upper crust through the underlying plutonic rocks (up to ~7 km deep). The model is organized into three paleo-volcanic centers, which include (from north to south): a northern …
