Silica (SiO2), significant constituent of telluric planet, can be found under various forms. Genesis of amorphous and cryptocrystalline polymorphs (opal-A, opal-CT, chalcedony) is not well understood on Earth. In 2008, several areas on Mars surface exhibit spectroscopic feature of hydrated amorphous silica (“opaline silica”). To understand the geological significance of this silica, two approaches have been used. The first one is the study of a terrestrial case: the opal deposit of Wegel Tena, in Ethiopia. The geology shows that these opals are pedogenetic: illuvial clays, pedogenic texture, geochemical analysis, plant fossils. Stratiform organization associated with clays, is common with silica observed on Mars. The second approach is base...
