The Martian meteorite NWA 7034 (nicknamed "Black Beauty"), found in the Sahara desert during 2011, has ten times the water content of other Mars meteorites found on Earth. [2] The meteorite contains components as old as 4.42 ± 0.07 Ga (billion years), [ 25 ] and was heated during the Amazonian geologic period on Mars.
Northwest Africa 7034 is a Martian meteorite. [4] It contains portions [5] estimated to be 4.43 billion years old and contains the most water of any Martian meteorite found on Earth. [6] Although it is from Mars it does not fit into any of the three SNC meteorite categories, and forms a new Martian meteorite group named "Martian (basaltic ...

The mass of the meteorite is 13.7 kg (30 lb). [2] It is an unbrecciated cumulus igneous rock consisting predominantly of elongated augite crystals—a solid solution in the pyroxene group. [ 9 ] Japanese scientists from the National Institute of Polar Research reported in 2003 that the meteorite contains iddingsite , which forms from the ...
A mineral grain from a meteorite preserved evidence that water was present on Mars 4.45 billion years ago, and it may have created hot springs habitable for life. ‘Black Beauty’ was found on ...
A 6.5 km diameter crater at in the volcanic plains to the northwest of Elysium Mons has been identified as a possible source Based on the crater dimensions, the inferred growth rate of the source volcano during that interval is 0.4–0.7 m per Ma, far slower than would be expected for a terrestrial volcano, and implying that Martian volcanism had slowed greatly by that point in history.
Allan Hills 84001 (ALH84001 [1]) is a fragment of a Martian meteorite that was found in the Allan Hills in Antarctica on December 27, 1984, by a team of American meteorite hunters from the ANSMET project. Like other members of the shergottite–nakhlite–chassignite (SNC) group of meteorites, ALH84001 is thought to have originated on Mars ...
