Press release from St. Louis Science Center:
May 14, 2022
As of April 2022, just over 300 Martian meteorites have been discovered and classified which account for less than 0.5% of all confirmed meteorites. Scientists use the mineralogical, elemental, and isotopic makeup of the meteorite to determine whether the rock originated on Mars or somewhere else in the solar system. Most strikingly, the noble gasses found within these meteorites match the composition of the Martian atmosphere.
