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).

Professor Abderrahmane Ibhi, expert in meteorites and founder responsible for the University Museum of Meteorites, confirmed the authenticity of the news of the fall of a meteorite in the south-east of Morocco near the village of Tiglit and indicated that the analyses carried out by the University Museum of Meteorites confirm that it is indeed a celestial rock of the aubrite type of asteroidal origin thus calming down some of the hunters of meteorites who thought that they had made a fortune.
I this date only 72 meteorites of this type have been classified.
It is a rare type of meteorite, difficult to find on the market.
The name Aubrites is linked to the fall of a meteorite in France at Aubres in 1836. They are composed mainly of orthopyroxene to enstatite.
