Well, I do wonder what you were thinking.

I wouldn't put aragonite top of the list, due to the lack of carbonate signatures across Mars. if it WERE aragonite, this would be a major discovery in favour of water in the past of Mars.

More likely a sulphate alteration product, but let's keep trying out the alternatives, eh?
