Best Answer

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.
