NWA 15364 is a very rare Martian meteorite of nakhlite type.
To date, only 31 meteorites of this type have been discovered.
A study has shown that nakhlites were imbued with liquid water about 620 million years ago and that they were ejected from Mars about 10.75 million years ago by an asteroid impact.
Martian meteorites are Martian rocks that were ejected from Mars by impacts and then fell to Earth as meteorites. The three best known types are shergottites (basaltic to lherzolitic igneous rocks, named after the Shergotty fall in India in 1865), nakhlites (clinopyroxenites or wehrlites, formed of cumulative rocks, and named after the fall of Nakhla, in Egypt, in 1911), and chassignites (cumulative dunitic rocks named after the fall of Chassigny, in France, in 1815).

Petrography: (J. Gattacceca, CEREGE) Igneous rock with doleritic texture. Main minerals are zoned pyroxene and maskelynite, with grain size ~500 μm. Other minerals: silica polymorph (100 μm), Fe-Ti oxides (100 μm).

The meteorite NWA 7034 is an exceptional meteorite.
Other stones of the same type have been found in the fall ellipse.
It is a Martian meteorite, certainly the rarest and most scientifically interesting meteorite ever found. It was discovered by meteorite hunters in the Western Sahara.
It is the oldest rock from Mars ever discovered, it contains more water than any other known Martian meteorite. Its texture is brecciated, it is composed of an agglomerate of rocks of which each rock tells us a fascinating story.

The Tissint meteorite fell on July 18, 2011 in the region of El Aglâb, in eastern Morocco, near the town of Tata.
It is the nomads who told the scientists that in the early morning of Sunday, July 18, 2011, they were awakened by a strong detonation as well as the military present in the area.
Tissint is a Martian meteorite classified as shergottite.
A Martian meteorite fall is observed on Earth about every fifty years, so it is a very rare event on the scale of a human life.
The Tissint fall zone is perfectly located with gps points and has been studied by Moroccan scientists.
