Why is it important to identify the gases trapped inside mars meteorites?

The trapped gases identify the meteorites as Martian in the first place, because their abundance closely matches the gases identified by probes on Mars. The gas composition would also be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere (and possibly the planetary crust) at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could also give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.
