On Mars, iron-rich hydrothermal sites are considered to be potentially important astrobiological targets for searching evidence of life during exploration missions, such as the Mars 2020 and the ExoMars 2022 missions. In this study, an extinct hydrothermal chimney from the Jaroso hydrothermal system (SE Spain), considered an interesting geodynamic and mineralogical terrestrial analog for Mars, was analyzed using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The sample consists of a fossil vent in a Miocene shallow-marine sedimentary deposit composed of a marl substrate, an iron-rich chimney pipe, and a central space filled with backfilling deposits and vent condensates. The iron crust is particularly striking due to the combined presence of molecular and morphological indications of a microbial colonization, including mineral microstructures (e.g., stalks, filaments), iron oxyhydroxide phases (altered goethite, ferrihydrite), and organic signatures (carotenoids, organopolymers). The clear identification of pigments by resonance Raman spectroscopy and the preservation of organics in association with iron oxyhydroxides by Raman microimaging demonstrate that the iron crust was indeed colonized by microbial communities. These analyses confirm that Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for documenting the habitability of such historical hydrothermal environments. Finally, based on the results obtained, we propose that the ancient iron-rich hydrothermal pipes should be recognized as singular terrestrial Mars analog specimens to support the preparatory work for robotic in situ exploration missions to Mars, as well as during the subsequent interpretation of data returned by those missions.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Fe-rich fossil vents as Mars analog samples: identification of extinct chimneys in Miocene marine sediments using Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-10 01:32:48.089013","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Analog sample; ExoMars; Mars 2020; Hydrothermal; Iron crust; Biosignatures","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2022,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-08-28","DateCreate":"2023-03-08","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000811828600001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1089/ast.2021.0128"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":361900,"PubliDate":2022,"Pagination":"1081-1098","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"22","Issue":"9","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":221387,"SerRR":"Astrobiology.
