Olivine
Chemical formula: (Mg,Fe)2SiO4
This mineral has been found in Gusev Crater.
Salt
Calcium carbonate, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and perchlorate have been found by the Phoenix lander (http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/09_09_pr.php). Chloride, perhaps table salt, have also been found by Mars Odyssey.[1]
