Abstract: Based on meteoritic evidence, Mars accreted as early as 2 Ma after the formation of the first solids in the solar system from material with an O-Ti-Cr-Ni isotopic provenance distinct from the Earth- Moon system. It likely formed a magma ocean within approx. 100 Ma after solar system formation, from which the martian core last equilibrated with its mantle at pressures of approx. 14 GPa. The formation of most of the mass of the Martian crust is constrained to have occurred by 4.35 Ga. Remanent …
