No. A Martian meteorite is simply a meteorite from Mars. It's basically just a rock.

What do martian meteorites tell about mars?

The elements of the meteorite and composition of trapped gases would be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere and the planetary crust at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.

Why do some scientists think that the fossils found on the martian meteorite aren't fossils at all?

All fossils are not the actual substance of the living creature but merely minerals that have collected in the hole the living creature left behind when its substance rotted away. Now when you have a 'fossil' in the shape of a complex skeleton its pretty easy to say that it came from a once living thing. But when you have a linear collection of crystals it isn't certain that it came from a once living thing or merely from a purely geological process. Also the martial 'fossil' is ten times smaller than the smallest fossil found on earth - a suspicious incongruity.


Why is the meteorite ALH84001 so important to in terms of searching life on other planets?

Allan Hills 84001 or ALH84001 is a meteorite that was found in the south pole. It is thought to have originally come from Mars. Around 4 billion years ago, the rock was thought to have been ejected from the Martian surface by a large impact. The rock was then thought to have remained in space, until it came into contact with Earth around 13,000 years ago. It is special as it is the only known martian rock to have been ejected from the martian surface during a time when there was thought to be liquid water on the planets surface, essential for life. On examination of the rock, scientists saw `worm like` micro fossils, thinking that they were the remains of early martian life. These features have now been generally dismissed as early martian life forms, but the meteorite remains a very important find.
