That would be "Antarctica"; meteorite name ALH 84001 found in Dec '84. The "There might be life in this here rock" announcement was initially made in 1996. Now its thought that the different chemistry on Mars when the rock was there before being ejected, could be the reason for the formations some have thought to be exobiologic.
