Researchers used instruments on board Curiosity to measure the isotopic composition of carbon-rich minerals (carbonates) found in Gale crater.

Carbonate minerals can retain signatures of the environments in which they formed, including the temperature and acidity of the water and the composition of the atmosphere.
