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 ...
Yamato 000593 (or Y000593) is the second largest meteorite from Mars found on Earth. [2] [5] [6] Studies suggest the Martian meteorite was formed about 1.3 billion years ago from a lava flow on Mars. [7] An impact occurred on Mars about 11 million years ago [7] and ejected the meteorite from the Martian surface into space.
A 2017 study dated them to at least four different eruptions from 1416 ± 7 Ma to 1322 ± 10 Ma. [2] It has been shown that the nakhlites were suffused with liquid water around 620 million years ago and that they were ejected from Mars around 10.75 million years ago by an asteroid impact. They fell to Earth within the last 10,000 years. [1]
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 ...
The same methodology was later applied to the Moon [1] and then to Mars. [2] Another stratigraphic principle used on planets where impact craters are well preserved is that of crater number density. The number of craters greater than a given size per unit surface area (usually a million km 2) provides a relative age for that surface. Heavily ...
