The elemental and isotopic compositions of the noble gases in various fragments of the Shergotty, Nakhla, and Chassigny (SNC) meteorites were determined. The results obtained on the full set of noble gas data for the SNC meteorites reaffirm the earlier conclusions of Ott and Begemann (1985) that Shergotty contains trapped gases similar to the gas type found in the glass of shergottite EETA 79001; trapped gases in Nakhla could not be described as such a simple mixture, and the Xe in Chassigny has a solar-like isotopic composition. It is suggested that none of the data prove in a conclusive way that the SNC meteorites are or are not derived from Mars. However, if a Martian origin of the SNCs were verified by other means, these results could be used to impose constraints on the development of Mars.
