Abstract

Noble gases measured in Martian meteorites are frequently a mixture of different components, ranging from Martian interior and unfractionated and fractionated atmosphere, to cosmic ray produced isotopes and terrestrial contamination. Here we focus on the Martian components, especially the fractionated Martian atmosphere in the nakhlite meteorites, in comparison to the other Martian components.
