Scientists have discovered inclusions in Martian clay that may record ancient microbial life, and the mineral mackinawite, recently found on asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, is significant because it samples different oxygen abundances during its formation, potentially connecting Mars, asteroids, and the building blocks of life.

Signs of Life Found on Mars? | @StarTalkAdded:
But if we go to Mars where there's no water today but such ample evidence that there was once running water. Do you compare notes with the your fellow Mars geologist? Uh cuz I I remember there's a recent news where there was some inclusions in some kind of clay that people felt pretty sure is a is a record of some kind of microbial life thriving in a distant past. It's a on a pathway.
The the final product forming would be pyite which everybody knows is school.
The mineral before that is mechanite big name but that mineral was recently discovered in both rugu and benu for the first time. Now why is this mineral great eye important? because it's sampling different abundances of oxygen that is around in order to produce itself.
