In-Depth Information
These meteorites have provided a record of martian
magmatic activity extending from Noachian time to
nearly the present. In addition, their secondary minerals
serve as physical witnesses to martian history and provide
critical insight into the dramatic climate changes Mars has
experienced. The ability to analyze their geochemistry,
radiometric ages, and petrology complements and extends
what has been learned from spacecraft exploration, and
helps to make Mars the most completely studied extrater-
restrial body.
