We present here infrared laboratory spectra of two particulate materials, calcite and palagonite, commonly considered as possible components of martian dust. The extinction properties have been measured both for the single materials and for mixtures of the two components as a function of the size range. We find that, while our experimental results for palagonite are in agreement with the extinction data calculated using the optical constants available in literature, for calcite this is not the case. Such behaviour is discussed in terms of the different nature, particulate or bulk, of the sample material. As far as mixtures are concerned, our results seem to suggest that it may be possible to detect calcite if its mass percentage is at least a few percent.
