Abstract Mars is primarily composed of mafic mineral assemblages and their alteration products, but small, scattered rocks strewn across the landscape offer clues to greater petrological diversity. While traversing the Jezero crater rim, the Perseverance rover encountered several plagioclase‐rich light‐toned float rocks. SuperCam identified the distinctive signature of corundum (α‐Al2O3) in these rocks using time‐resolved luminescence spectroscopy. Two strong peaks (692.7 and 694.1 nm) with millisecond lifetimes, and additional supporting lines, are consistent with Cr3+ substitution for Al3+ in corundum. Corundum forms in Al‐rich, Si‐depleted environments through magmatic or metamorphic processes. Given the rocks’ small size, association with plagioclase, and location on the crater rim, we interpret the most plausible formation scenario to be impact induced metamorphism at the interface of a felsic and a mafic/ultramafic member with the likely action of fluids at some stage, although other possibilities are not excluded.
