In an ancient Martian river channel, Perseverance drilled into a mudstone called Cheyava Falls and found tiny “leopard spot” minerals tangled with organic carbon — patterns that, on Earth, can be left behind when microbes consume organic matter, though scientists still can’t rule out non-living chemistry.

A drilled rock core from an ancient Martian river channel has given Perseverance scientists one of the mission’s most interesting and difficult findings: a m...
