A main goal of the Mars2020 Perseverance Rover mission is to provide a compelling suite of samples for eventual return to Earth [1]. A high priority goal for Mars Sample Return is calibrating Mars’ crater retention isochrons that are used to date geologic surfaces and events across the planet [2]. Several factors are necessary to consider what type of rock would be most useful for this purpose: ability to retain craters across a large exposure, access to drillable outcrop, identifiable stratigraphic context, and understanding why this specific rock type preferentially retains crater morphology. Now that we’ve seen the surface and sampled some of the main constituent outcrops on the Crater Floor – Fractured Rough unit [3, Simon et al, this conference] (Figure 1), we can begin assessing which rocks can help us achieve this important goal to not only understand the age relationships between stratigraphic units in Jezero crater, but also improve age estimates across Mars.
