Abstract In 2024, NASA’s Perseverance rover explored Neretva Vallis, an ancient river channel that once transported water into Jezero crater. There, the rover encountered Mg-poor mudstones with diverse alteration features. In 32 rock targets in Neretva Vallis, nickel (Ni) was detected by the SuperCam instrument with concentrations in individual rocks as high as ~1.1 weight percent – the highest abundance ever seen in bedrock on Mars.
