Abstract
The measurements of rockforming and natural radioactive elements as a result of gamma-spectrometric studies from Phobos-2 space probe orbit in equatorial zone of Mars are presented. Predominantly basic type of Martian surface rock composition is corroborated. The data give eviden ce of the regular character of compositional variations within the stu died area. The lateral compositional variations presumably are resulti ng from the variations of bedrock composition as well as of bedrock/so il ratio.
