Best Shergottite

Elephant Moraine A79001, commonly abbreviated EETA79001, is a Martian shergottite discovered in Antarctica in 1979. Glassy impact-melt inclusions within it contain gases whose elemental and isotopic composition closely matches measurements of the Martian atmosphere made by the Viking landers. That c...

Shergotty is a basaltic Martian meteorite that fell near Sherghati, in present-day Bihar, India, in 1865. Its mineral composition, trapped gases, and other chemical evidence connect it to rocks ejected from Mars by an impact. The specimen gives its name to shergottites, the largest major group withi...

Zagami is a Martian basaltic shergottite meteorite that fell near Zagami, Nigeria, in 1962. The recovered stone weighed about 18 kilograms, making it one of the largest individual Martian meteorites known. Its igneous minerals and trapped gases have been studied as evidence of volcanic processes and...

QUE 94201 is a Martian meteorite recovered in Antarctica's Queen Alexandra Range during the 1994 field season. It is classified as a basaltic shergottite, a type of igneous rock ejected from Mars by an impact and later delivered to Earth. Laboratory studies have placed its crystallization at roughly...

Martian shergottite found in Libya in 1998, among the first Martian meteorites recovered from the Libyan Sahara and notable for its basaltic composition.

Martian basaltic shergottite found in the Dhofar region of Oman in 2000, notable for a young crystallization age of approximately 180 million years.

NWA 480 is a lunar mare basalt meteorite found in Northwest Africa around 2000, extending knowledge of the Moon's volcanic history beyond Apollo sample collection sites.

Sayh al Uhaymir 005 is a Martian meteorite found in Oman in 1999 and classified as an olivine-phyric shergottite, a basaltic rock of volcanic origin. Its mineralogy and trapped gases link it to Mars, while its recovery in the Arabian Peninsula places it among several Martian meteorites identified in...

Martian basaltic shergottite found in Northwest Africa around 2001, notable for its geochemical enrichment signature and similarities to other enriched shergottite meteorites.

Meteorite found in the Dar al Gani region of Libya, one of hundreds of specimens recovered from this prolific North African find area since the 1990s.

Meteorite from Northwest Africa, part of the extensive catalogued collection of specimens recovered by prospectors from North African desert regions.

Meteorite from Northwest Africa, acquired through the commercial trade in North African desert finds and catalogued in the international meteoritical registry.
