This custom museum display showcases an Authentic Martian Meteorite. A Martian meteorite is a rock that formed on the planet Mars and was then ejected from Mars by the impact of an asteroid or comet, and finally landed on Earth. Of over 61,000 meteorites that have been found on Earth, only 132 were identified as Martian. These meteorites were proven to be from Mars because they have elemental and isotopic compositions that are similar to rocks and atmosphere gases analyzed by spacecraft on Mars.

On October 17, 2013, NASA reported, based on analysis of argon in the Martian atmosphere by the Mars Curiosity rover, that these meteorites found on Earth thought to be from Mars were indeed from Mars. These meteorites was determined to have formed 2.1 billion years ago during the Amazonian geologic period on Mars.
