Dr. Monica Grady gave us a very interesting talk entitled “Mars, meteorites and the search for life“ in which she explained why she was sure some of the meteorites could only have come from Mars. She also gave us an insight into the uncertainties surrounding the alleged Martian fossils in the Antarctic Martian meteorite ALH84001. She also brought small samples from a Martian meteorite and a carbonaceous chondritic meteorites for us to look at.
