Scientific paper

The ALH84001 meteorite was classified as a cumulate orthopyroxenite of Martian origin. In contrast to other SNC meteorites, ALH84001 contains abundant Fe-Mg carbonates, which give strong evidence for hydrothermal or fluid activities on Mars. Recently, PAHs, carbonate globules, and some associated secondary minerals were described on fresh fracture surface of that meteorite and the findings were considered as possible remains of ancient Martian biota. The purpose of this work is to study the genesis of minor phases in order to learn more about fluid activities in this meteorite.
