GILLET PH. et al. (2001) Aqueous alteration in the NWA 817
Martian meteorite (MAPS 36-9, 2001, A066):

"... we suggest that the alteration products observed in the NWA 817
nakhlite, the apparent absence of carbonates and the negative deltaD
values can be explained by the percolation through the rock of a fluid
originating from the martian mantle".
