Hi Bernd,
I meant to address this email to you and not to Eric. So here it is
again.
I have always wondered why people here on the List, keep referring to
some meteorites as being "magnetic". To me, being magnetic means having
the properties of a magnet. There are no meteorites that natually attract
iron, so why are they described as being "magnetic"? Am I wrong?
Regards,
Greg L.

Eric inquired:
"Are Mars meteorites magnetic at all?"
Some of them are definitely attracted to a magnet!
One of these is Bob Verish's Los Angeles and when I held
a magnet to one my LAs, it readily jumped to the magnet!
See, for example:
COLLINSON D.W.(1997) Magnetic properties of Martian meteorites:
Implications for an ancient Martian magnetic field (Meteoritics 32-6,
1997, 803).
Best wishes for 2012,
Bernd
