Hypothetical transport of iron on early Mars. Reduced iron is released into aqueous environments by dissolution of ferrous minerals. This process could be accelerated by volcanic or impact-generated hydrothermal activity (McSween et al., 2009). Some dissolved iron may be photo-oxidized by solar UV radiation to ferric compounds and deposited as sediments (Nie et al., 2017).
