NASA says the minerals and rock deposits at Salda are the nearest match on earth to those around the Jezero Crater.
Jezero Crater is the place where the spacecraft (Perseverance) landed.
It is also believed that Jezero Crater have once been flooded with water.
The rocks along the shoreline of Lake Salda in Turkey were formed by microbes that trap minerals and sediments in the water which was once a major life form on Earth.
NASA's Perseverance rover, now housed in Mars, will investigate whether there are microbialites in Jezero Crater.
It will also compare sediments collected from Lake Salda with fossilised remains at Mars.
This will help to understand the differences between the Mars sediments and Lake Salda.
