Michael....... ALH84001 has certainly caused a lot of discussion over the
years. Proof that life once existed on Mars, yes or no ? I would like to
inform you that NWA 998 is described as containing ankeritic carbonates.
One other meteorite has been described in this manner ----- ALH84001
ALH84001 is not available to private collectors but NWA 998 is:

Hi Steve,
This question can only be properly answered by addressing
It at several levels:
In theory, one that PROVES life on Mars does or did exist.
Of those known to exist, ALH84001 would, of course, be the "Holy
Grail" of the known Martians.
Of those that are (at least theoretically) available, Chassigny is,
By far, the rarest, making it the "Holy Grail" of available Martians.
Hope that clears it up, Steve.
Best wishes, Michael
