It should be noted that as yet we have only found Lunar and Martian meteorites here on Earth.

One such Martian meteorite (named ALH84001), found in Antarctica, has been reported to show evidence of past life on Mars, in the form of tiny 'magnetofossils' embedded in the meteorite. These 'magnetofossils' are magnetite crystals of a shape and size that are allegedly consistent with a biological origin (biogenic). But the idea that the ALH84001 magnetite is really biogenic is very controversial.

Cheers
