About Martian Meteorites A Martian meteorite is a rock that formed on Mars and was ejected by the impact of an asteroid or comet before finally landing on Earth. Martian meteorites make up less than 0.5% of all known meteorites, making them rarer than lunar meteorites and extraordinarily rare by any measure. NWA 4766 is classified as a Basaltic Shergottite. Shergottites are the most common of the Martian meteorite types, with roughly three-quarters of all known Martian meteorites falling into this category — yet even so, owning a piece of another planet is a truly remarkable thing. NWA 4766 is officially classified and listed in the Meteoritical Bulletin database, confirming its Martian origin beyond any doubt.
