AB The outcrop of “Las Arenas” volcano in Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain) has been presented as Terrestrial volcanicanalog for ancient Mars, showing a great variety of alteration processes and interesting mineralogy. Thecurrent analysis has been done by means of measurement techniques used or proposed on Martian studies. Thenew analysis of the zeolite has been carried out using Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-raydiffraction (XRD), Infrared spectroscopy, Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy(SEM-EDX). The zeolite has been carefully analyzed using vibrational spectroscopy and it has beenidentified as Ca-phillipsite. The other techniques support and confirm the results. The measurements and resultsusing the Raman Laser Spectrometer (RLS) simulator system show the capabilities RLS system in the ESA Exo-Mars mission. The chemometrical methods for the vibrational mineral detection show the advantages of Ramanspectroscopy to understand the possible geological context. Furthermore, the proposed diagenesis and formationof the zeolites in southern part of Tenerife island have been confirmed by the twin space prototypes used. A newhypothesis about the origin for the special case of “Las Arenas” volcano Ca-phillipsite has been proposed. Finally,a multi-complementary comparison among the different techniques used on the current studie has been doneand, also an analogy with the next space mission has been established. These analyses emphasize the strength ofthe different techniques and the working synergy of the different techniques together for planetary space missions.
