caption_attribution_description: English: NASA # S80-37631: endcut after first saw cut of EETA79001 martian meteorite. It was found in 1979 in the Elephant Moraine area of Antarctica. Sawing was done with a steel band saw without any lubricant. Vertical stripes are saw marks. The cube in the lower left corner is 1 cm^3.
context_page_description: EETA 79001, also known as Elephant Moraine 79001, is a Martian meteorite. It was found in Elephant Moraine, in the 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 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.
