...life on Mars." The scientists found that the pinpoint-sized flecks contained hydrocarbons, which may be the fossil remains of Martian bacteria, single-celled life forms that thrived on the red planet 3.5 billion years ago. The meteorite, called Allan Hills 84001, contains organic molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) which in this case are said to be the byproducts of metabolic processes. The PAH molecules were recovered from cracks in the rock, which means they were probably deposited after the rock was formed, and not left behind by heating and cooling. Also present in the samples are magnetite...
