Catalogue includes organic compounds from the five Martian meteorites that have been found on Earth
An international team of researchers has found that Martian meteorite Tissint, which landed in Morocco in July 2011, contains a ‘large diversity’ of organic compounds commonly associated with life. The scientists have assembled the most comprehensive catalogue to date of the various organic compounds found in the five Martian meteorites that have recovered on Earth since 1815, or in any sample retrieved by a Mars rover.
