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.
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.
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 ...
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]
The Tissint meteorite is a Martian meteorite that fell in Tata Province in the Guelmim-Es Semara region of Morocco on July 18, 2011. Tissint is the fifth Martian meteorite that people have witnessed falling to Earth , and the first since 1962. [ 1 ]
It landed 10 feet (3.0 m) from a farmer near Zagami, Nigeria, and became buried in a hole about 2 feet (0.61 m) deep. According to Ron Baalke of NASA/JPL, "The Zagami meteorite is the most easily obtainable SNC meteorite available to collectors," [ 2 ] [ 3 ] referring to the SNC classification of meteorites ( Shergottites , Nakhlites ...
