Mysterious Mars Rocks Crash on Earth, Baffling Experts

TL;DR Summary
Chunks of Mars rocks have been reaching Earth, but their age has been a mystery due to conflicting dating results. However, scientists have developed a method to correct for argon contamination and refine the age estimates of the rocks. The results suggest that the Mars rocks are younger than previously believed, possibly due to frequent impacts on Mars breaking up the older surface and exposing younger rocks replenished by volcanic activity. This implies that Martian volcanic activity may still be ongoing. Studying these rocks can help scientists understand the formation of Earth and unravel the mysteries of Mars.
