Martian Chemical Fossils Found in Meteorite Tissint

im confused

this meteorite was found on mars or on earth?
if it was found on earth, how do they know it came from mars?

Comet me bro!

The Tissint meteorite was found on Earth.
NASA uses a certain method to identify the meteorite as originating from Mars. However, the method is very limited, as most of meteorties (there are millions of meteorites on Earth) really originated from Mars.

The link then links to a study calling the organics - of abiotic origin.

We get hit by both Martian & moon rocks, they're caused by the parent bodies being hit by a large meteorite/asteroid & it ejects rocks into space, sometimes they hit earth

The authors of the study call the organics abiotic, but they will never have evidence for their saying so. Only present or past life can produce the complex organic molecules shown in the photo in the first post above.

The authors of the study just speculate the organics could be produced during the interaction between water and rocks. That's no evidence of any kind.
