As described below, although K and surface has a mean Cl/K ratio of 1.3 ± 0.2, indistinguishable Cl are not correlated, the average Cl/K is 1.3, close to the CI from the ratio in CI chondrites (1.28). Although Cl and K chondrite value of 1.28 [Palme and Jones, 2004], but very fractionate by magma degassing and aqueous processing, different from the Wänke‐Dreibus value of 0.08 (Table 1). during igneous partial melting both elements are highly We argue here that bulk silicate Mars has a CI chondrite Cl/K incompatible. Thus, if the surface Cl/K reflects the bulk ratio and that the low Cl value in the Wänke‐Dreibus model crustal value, then the mantle, hence primitive silicate is caused by Martian meteorites being depleted in Cl Mars, also has a roughly CI ratio. data because of loss of this volatile during eruption or near‐ indicate that Cl/Br is also approximately chondritic, surface intrusion [also see McSween et al., 2001].

If reflective of the interior, it implies magma degassing. that Br, like Cl, is much higher in Mars than the estimate [6] Loss of halogens during magma degassing depends on made by Wänke and Dreibus. This assumes, of course, Cl magma composition and H2O concentration (see summary and Br are lost from magmas by the same amount during by Aiuppa et al. [2009]), but fractionation relative to each degassing.

On the other hand, F is retained by lavas, so its concentration in volcanic rocks 6. Revised Halogens in Bulk Silicate Mars more accurately reflects its abundance in the mantle. Thus, the behavior of F in magmatic systems leads to a more [10] A central issue is whether the mean Cl/K value accurate estimate of its concentration in bulk silicate Mars determined for the upper few decimeters reflects the bulk (Table 1). composition of the planet. Taylor et al. [2006] addressed [7] Once on the surface, K and the halogens behave quite differently. K is retained in feldspars and residual igneous glass until sufficient weathering takes place to begin to dissolve those phases, whereas the Cl, Br, and I are present in highly soluble salts. Thus, surface aqueous processes continue to fractionate K from Cl and the other large‐ion halogens. The geochemistry of halogens on the Martian surface is complicated [e.g., Marion et al., 2009] and although Cl and Br behave similarly, they can still frac- tionate significantly from each other [e.g., Clark et al., 2005; Haskin et al., 2005]. Extracting the bulk crustal Cl, Br, and I from surface analyses is not yet possible with existing data from the Mars Exploration Rovers, so below we use Cl/Br and Cl/I ratios in Martian meteorites to evaluate Br and I in the mantle. This approach assumes that we can ignore the differences in fluid/magma partition coefficients. Figure 1. Mars Odyssey Cl and K concentrations for 5 × 5 degree grid points.

The largest region represents the CI chondritic ratio ± one standard deviation of the population. (The standard deviation is 0.2.) Other increments are one standard deviation wide. The large area occupied by the Cl/K values within one standard deviation of the CI chondritic value suggests that Cl/K at the Martian surface is close to chondritic. this issue with respect to K and Th.

While we can- crustal inventory of Cl into the uppermost surface layers. not pin down the total magmatic Cl or the K/Cl from these Thus, we believe it is reasonable to conclude that bulk Mars data, the meteorite evidence supports the idea that Martian has close to a chondritic Cl/K ratio. Using the Wänke‐ magmas contained much higher levels of Cl than bulk Dreibus value for K (305 ppm (Table 1)), we estimate a bulk meteorite analyses suggest. Cl abundance of 390 ppm (Table 1).

Assuming that the bulk crust has a chondritic Cl/K chondritic proportions, though the mean Cl/Br (180) is ratio, we estimated the K and Cl abundances in bulk silicate slightly less than chondritic (199). As discussed in section 3, Mars. If the crust is 57 km thick [Wieczorek and Zuber, Br is lost more readily from degassing magmas than is Cl. 2004] and the mantle extends to a depth of 1760 km, the Thus, the roughly chondritic Cl/Br might have been lower crust occupies 4.6 wt% of silicate Mars. If that mass of crust than observed (because Br was higher), so use of the represents the average amount of partial melting of the chondritic ratio or the mean for the Martian meteorites is mantle over time and the distribution coefficients for K and conservative. If anything, the Br concentration might be Cl during mantle partial melting are 0.001, use of the higher compared to Cl and other moderately volatile standard equations for equilibrium partial melting indicates elements. that the current mean mantle concentration is 170 ppm K [14] We estimate iodine in bulk silicate Mars by assuming and 220 ppm Cl. With 4.6% partial melting and the crustal it has the same relationship to Cl as does Br. That is, if Cl/Br mass assumed, half the total inventory of K and Cl is in the is roughly chondritic, Cl/I probably is as well, simply crust and half is still in the mantle [also see Taylor et al., because the condensation temperatures of Br and I do not 2006]. Thus, the primitive mantle (same as bulk silicate differ significantly (Table 1). However, meteorite data are Mars) has 340 ppm K and 440 ppm Cl. These values are in insufficient to establish that firmly. accord with our revised estimate for bulk silicate Mars (Table 1). 7. Discussion [12] Martian meteorites provide evidence for magmas being much richer in Cl before eruption. Filiberto and [15] Our revised estimate of the abundances of moderately Treiman [2009] succinctly summarize the evidence. The volatile and volatile lithophile elements in bulk silicate Mars key evidence is the presence of Cl‐bearing amphibole inside is about 0.6 × CI chondrites (Table 1) and indicates that
