Inside the meteorite from Mars were grains of garnet. The discovery of the mineral surprised scientists. They had not found it in any sample from the red planet before. They also had no indication that the conditions there were suitable for the formation of cubic sediment. They did not rule out the possibility that it came from another part of the universe.
Scientists have found garnet in a Martian rock for the first time. The discovery provides new clues about the geological evolution of Mars and the processes that shaped its surface billions of years ago. The study detected the presence of garnet in a sample from the Red Planet for the first time. An international team of researchers identified a completely new type of rock on Mars and, moreover, detected the presence of garnet in a sample from t…
CANVA An international team of scientists found a surprise hidden inside the Martian meteorite NWA 8171: small grains of garnet, a mineral whose presence had never been confirmed on a rock from Mars. The discovery, made after a detailed analysis of a tiny section of the meteorite preserved in the Royal Museum of Ontario, Canada, could provide crucial information about the geological evolution of the red planet and about the processes that occurr…
A gem found in a Mars meteorite has scientists puzzled
Scientists have found garnet in a Martian meteorite for the first time, raising new questions about what kind of geological history might be hidden inside the red planet. Held in the collection of Canada’s Royal Ontario Museum, the meteorite known as NWA 8171 was examined by an international team that identified grains of andradite, a specific variety of garnet, in a tiny fragment of the meteorite. The study was published in a peer-reviewed jour…
