How are these meteorites assigned a Martian origin?
Why Mars?
Could (any number of small) asteroid approaches have made the deposits?

It'll be down to chemical composition..
of course, they cant be 100% certain that there's not some random mars like stuff from elsewhere, but by what we know of martian geology..? should maybe be Martiology.. and chemistry they can tell if a rock is probably from there.
