EETA79001
Elephant Moraine 79001, also known as EETA 79001, is a Mars, Martian meteorite. It was found in Elephant Moraine, in the Antarctica, Antarctic during the 1979–1980 collecting season. The meteorite is classified as a shergottite and is primarily basaltic in composition. EETA 79001 is the second largest Mars, Martian meteorite found on Earth, at approximately 7900 grams; only the Zagami meteorite is larger. It is a very young rock, by geologic standards, dating to only about 180 million years ago, and was ejected from the Martian surface about 600 thousand years ago. Discovery EETA 79001 was discovered at the Elephant Moraine, near Reckling Peak, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was especially significant due to the fact that it had glass inclusions that were found to contain rare Isotopes of Nitrogen, nitrogen isotopic compositions. These same compositions were measured in the Martian atmosphere by the Viking spacecraft in 1976. This match was some of the first cruci ...
