Abstract
Diversity of martian samples: Martian meteorites are the only samples currently available from Mars, before samples will be returned to Earth in 2031 by the Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign. Samples are necessary to better constrain geological processes, including emplacement of magmatic rocks, geochemical diversity of the martian interior (crust and mantle), abundances and distribution of volatiles, planetary accretion and differentiation, bulk Mars composition, and secondary processes, such as alteration. Here we review the main discoveries from martian meteorites, focusing on the past six years [1].
