Geologists say Martian meteorite ALH84001 is 95% orthopyroxene. However, I suspect many neuron remains have been misidentified as orthopyroxene minerals. The following micrographs show neuron remains in Martian meteorites ALH84001 and EET79001. http://www.wretch.cc/album/show.php?i=lin440315&b=29&f=1782977326&p=88
