โThese meteorites are allowing us to conduct geologic science on the surface of Mars, and we havenโt even been there yet,โ Prof. Caffee said.โ โ https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2017/Q1/monster-martian-volcano-unlike-anything-on-earth,-scientists-say.html
History: 2.4 billon years old. โThis early Amazonian age is about 1.8 billion years older than that of any other recognized shergottite, whose ages fall into the middle-to-late Amazonian epoch in Marsโ geologic history.โ Ejected from Mars by meteor strike 1.1 million years ago. Landed in Algeria more recently and fusion crust eroded away from shifting sands in the Sahara Desert. Discovered in 2012. 56.7g individual stone.
