Martian Organic Matter in ALH84001?
Written by G. Jeffrey Taylor
Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology
June 3, 1999
A recent paper by Luann Becker, Brian Popp, Terri Rust (all at the
University of Hawai'i), and Jeffrey Bada (University of California, San
Diego) claims to have the first definitive evidence for the presence of
martian organic compounds in martian meteorite ALH84001, the famous
meteorite that may or may not have fossils in it. They do not think that
these organic compounds reflect biological processes on Mars.
