Solving the Martian meteorite age conundrum using micro-baddeleyite and launch-generated zircon

Abstract

The age of the representative Martian meteorite NWA 5298 is determined using spatially correlated electron-beam nanostructural and uranium–lead isotopic measurements of microminerals, resolving a paradox of different age interpretations for the evolution of Martian crust.
