30. We thank NASA for providing the samples for this study and I. Leya, R. Wieler, L Borg, T. Grove, T. Irving, S. Jacobsen, L Nyquist, and two anonymous reviewers for their comments. E. Scherer supported the MC-ICPMS in Münster, and C. Münker provided aliquots of the whole-rock samples. This study was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft as part of the research priority program "Mars and the terrestrial planets" and by a European Union Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship to T.K.
