The Importance of WhenThe Importance of When
Two important age studies of Martian meteorites:
Clasts in Black Beauty impact melt breccia
Baddeleyites in shergottite NWA 5298
Evolved, alkalic clasts in Black Beauty sample NWA 7533 indicate an early age for crust formation on Mars. Ages of baddeleyite crystals in NWA 5298 indicate that shergottites are young.

Shergottite Age ConundrumShergottite Age Conundrum
Pb isotopic data indicate old ages for Martian meteorites, including shergottites.
But internal isochrons suggest young ages for shergottites.
