1.3-billion-year-old Martian meteorites reveal Mars' distinct mantle and crust structure.
Martian meteorites reveal Mars has a distinct structure in its mantle and crust with discernible reservoirs, thanks to analyses by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. These meteorites, which formed around 1.3 billion years ago and were ejected from Mars, have been collected from sites in Antarctica and Africa. The findings are important for understanding Mars' formation and evolution, and for providing data for NASA missions such as Insight and Perseverance.
