Muscat: Oman has been returned a 450 million-year-old rock to Mars. Sayh Al Uhaymir 008 was discovered in the Wilayat ?of Haima, Al Wusta province, ?in 1999. The scientific community considers this to be a rare event in the history of science. The rock is believed to be 450 million years old and was named Sayh Al Uhaymir 008. An Oman geologist said the rock was scientifically documented in 1999. He said that a scientific study was carried out in 2000 and another stone named Sayh al Uhaymir 5 was found two kilometers away.
The rock was returned to Mars via NASA’s Mars mission Perseverance.
