It has been unclear for a long time whether a number of differentiated meteorites might originate from Mars. It has then been possible to measure noble gas, as well as CO2- and N2-concentrations in trappend gas inside glass-inclusions in a shergottite. These are in prefect agreement with spectroscopic concentration data of these gases in the martian atmosphere. It is since then clear that these meteorites are from Mars.
