Basically the research team studied samples from six meteorites of volcanic rocks of Martian origin.
However, our research provides a strong indication that rocks on Mars contain a large reservoir of methane.
The spaces probes which had explored Mars earlier too have revealed the presence of methane on the Martian surface.
The study conducted by European Space Agencys Mars Express had sniffed methane in Martian atmosphere way back in 2014.
Details of this discovery has been published in the journal Nature Communications.
