Default gray hematite found Coal layer in Mars strata found by robots

Gray hematite which is mostly a water sediment deposit is found on
much of Mars (funny how Mars could not be Mar but has to have an "s"
at the end of it-- I suppose like Paris)

Anyway, I wonder if this robot on Mars can detect tiny amounts of coal
dust that was scattered by a bolide impact over much of Mars?

I wonder if the Gray Hematite is a nice outline of where the Mars
Oceans used to exist when Mars was in a Earth orbit around the Sun and
when Earth was in Venus's place which lasted for about 2 billion
years.

I do not know how capable is this robot in detection of coal powder or
coal specks or coal signatures. Perhaps if these robots are so capable
of detection of gray-hematite then they are capable of detecting coal
dust.

Now, is there a hematite mineral that has coal impurities? Is there a
sedimentary rock that can have coal dust impurities?

Other than the robots luckily visiting a site where a lump of coal or
a coal seam is exposed, the best chance of running into coal is from
the meteor bolide impacts of coal seams that thrust the fine powder
over much of the surface.
