Phobos and Mars Data from Phobos-2 SC, 1989 Phobos image from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter space craft, 23 March 2008 What do we know about Phobos? 27×22×19 km mass 1.082×10 14 g spec.gravity ~1.85 g/cm 3

Our questions to Phobos 10.04.2008 NASA Is there a genetic link between Phobos and Mars? Is there a genetic link between Phobos and Mars?
4
Oxygen isotopic composition of Moon and Earth is the same in terms of 17 O value. Moon data scatters along Terrestrial Fractionation Line (TFL) with a slope ≈0.52 Martian meteorites data (SNC) are located above TFL by 0.3‰ of 17 O CAI and carbonaceous chondrites data are scattered along line with a slope ≈1 Are Phobos and Mars identical in oxygen isotopic composition?

It is very likely, that SNC- meteorites (Shergottites, Nakhlites and Shassignites) – are samples of Martian magmatic rocks Yu.A.Shukoliukov, 1991 M gas /M body
