The shergottite, nakhlite, and Chassigny (SNC) meteorites are inferred to be samples from the Martian surface, and so provide a wealth of information on Martian petrology and geochemistry. Because the SNCs are igneous rocks, it has not been obvious that they could reveal much about low-temperature geochemical processes and atmosphere surface interactions on Mars. However, five of the eight SNCs are known to contain low-temperature hydrous minerals and related phase of likely martian origin. Here, we review these martian weathering and alteration products in SNCs and outline possible implications for volatile/regolith interactions and regolith sinks for volatiles on Mars.
