}}Yamato 000593 (or Y000593) is the second largest meteorite from Mars found on Earth.[4][5][6] Studies suggest the Martian meteorite was formed about 1.3 billion years ago from a lava flow on Mars. [7] An impact occurred on Mars about 11 million years ago [8] and ejected the meteorite from the Martian surface into space. The meteorite landed on Earth in Antarctica about 50,000 years ago. The mass of the meteorite is {{convert|13.7|kg|lbs|abbr=on}} and has been found to contain evidence of past water alteration.[4][5][6][9]

At a microscopic level, spheres are found in the meteorite that are rich in carbon compared to surrounding areas that lack such spheres. The carbon-rich spheres and the observed micro-tunnels may have been formed by biotic activity, according to NASA scientists.[4][5][6]

Discovery and naming

The 41st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) found the meteorite in late December 2000 on the Yamato Glacier at the Queen Fabiola Mountains, Antarctica.[4][10]

Description

The mass of the meteorite is {{convert|13.7|kg|lbs|abbr=on}}.[4] It is an unbrecciated cumulus igneous rock consisting predominantly of elongated augite crystals —a solid solution in the pyroxene group.[10] Japanese scientists from the National Institute of Polar Research reported in 2003 that the meteorite contains iddingsite, which forms from the weathering of basalt in the presence of liquid water.[10] In addition, NASA researchers reported in February 2014 that they also found carbon-rich spheres encased in multiple layers of iddingsite, as well as microtubular features emanating from iddingsite veins displaying curved, undulating shapes consistent with bio-alteration textures that have been observed in terrestrial basaltic glass.[4] However, the scientific consensus is that "morphology alone cannot be used unambiguously as a tool for primitive life detection."[11][12][13] Interpretation of morphology is notoriously subjective, and its use alone has led to numerous errors of interpretation.[11] According to the NASA team, the presence of carbon and lack of corresponding cations is consistent with the occurrence of organic matter embedded in iddingsite.[5] The NASA researchers indicated that mass spectrometry may provide deeper insight into the nature of the carbon, and could distinguish between abiotic and biologic carbon incorporation and alteration.[5]

Classification

The Martian meteorite is an igneous rock classified as an achondrite type of the nakhlite group.[4][1]
