ALH84001questions

What was the ejection age for that rock again?
Location, (formation) even roughly known?
And what might have been the age of fossilization?

It seems evident that whatever was preserved in it used magnetism to orient itself.

I wonder what its metabolism might have been? What was its energy supply?

Did that rock show any signs of the original environment? Was sulfuric acid evidenced?

Isn't it past time to review ALH 84001 in light of what's recently been learned?

And what about the other SNCs?

Finally, Isn't it far cheaper to recover meteorites from antartica than to fly a very limited sample
return to Mars?
