NASA 's Perseverance rover has been exploring the ancient lakebed in Jezero crater since February 2021 .
The rover's on board suite of instruments can provide a cursory analysis of the samples, but the in-depth science necessary to investigate them can only be done back in a laboratory on Earth .
The plan was to launch that mission by the end of this decade and have those samples back on Earth by 2033 .
The cost of that mission, which is still in the design phase, began to skyrocket towards $11 billion .
Eight of the duplicate samples were cached at a location known as Three Forks, where they were left on the surface by the rover.
The other samples taken so far are of igneous rock probably created when Jezero crater was excavated by the impact that formed it 4 billion years ago .
The potential importance of the samples cannot be downplayed, the study team says.
