The Formation Age of Carbonates in ALH84001 Among the SNC (martian) meteorites, ALH 84001 is particularly interesting because it has a significantly older crystallization age [1,2]. Moreover, it contains abundant carbonates believed to have formed from interaction with CO2-rich aqueous fluids in a near-surface environment on Mars [3,4]. The C isotopic composition of these carbonates suggests that their parent fluids
