How a Martian Meteorite Found in a Drawer Rewrites Mars’ Water History
Scientists have traced the origins of the Lafayette Meteorite back to Mars, dating its water-altered minerals to 742 million years ago. The findings suggest that the meteorite's interaction with water came from melting subsurface permafrost rather than surface water,
Meteorite found in a drawer at university contains 700-million-year-old evidence of water on Mars
The Lafayette meteorite was discovered in a drawer at Purdue University in 1931, with no clear indication of how it got there. A new analysis of the rock reveals evidence of liquid water on Mars 742 million years ago.
Mars meteorite found in drawer reveals history of water on Red Planet
"We think the water came from the melting of nearby sub-surface ice called permafrost, and that the permafrost melting was caused by magmatic activity that still occurs periodically on Mars to the present day.
Meteorite found in a drawer in 1929 contains ancient evidence of liquid water on Mars
A sliver of Martian rock that once lay hidden in a university drawer has helped researchers better understand the Red Planet’s geological history. Using isotopic dating, a team at Purdue University has determined that the “Lafayette Meteorite” likely interacted with liquid water approximately 742 million years ago.
Martian Meteorite Encountered Water on Mars: Scientists
Researchers from Purdue University have confirmed the so-called Lafayette Meteorite encountered Water before it left Mars behind. The unlikely journey that brought the Lafayette Meteorite to Purdue University’s Department of Earth,
Rock once forgotten in a drawer plays key part in dating water on Mars
Scientist finds a random rock in a drawer; a century later, it helps humanity figure out when liquid water was on Mars. Sarcasm aside, the strange history of the Lafayette meteorite, a space rock at Purdue University,
Meteorite that struck Mars reveals when the planet had liquid water
The study identified when water interacted with the meteorite and established that the dating was unaffected by events after it left Mars.
Unlocking Mars' History: The Dating of Water-Rock Interaction in the Lafayette Meteorite
When did liquid water exist on Mars and what can it tell us about when, or if, life ever existed on the Red Planet? This is what a recent study published i | Space
Ancient meteorite reveals evidence of liquid water on Mars 742 million years ago
A team of scientists has found evidence of liquid water on Mars from 742 million years ago in a Martian meteorite known as the Lafayette Meteorite. This meteorite, now at Purdue University, traveled from Mars to Earth after an asteroid impact on Mars about 11 million years ago sent fragments of the red planet into
Mars meteorite: contact with liquid water only 742 million years ago
A rock carved out of Mars 11 million years ago contains traces of liquid water. This has measurably changed its composition.
