Hi Eric, Yes, but not from native iron-nickel, which is normally absent in SNCs, instead from ferrimagnetic minerals such as pyrrhotite Fe7S8 and magnetite Fe3O4.

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; DelSp="Yes"; format="flowed" Are Mars meteorites magnetic at all? Apologies if this question has been hashed out before, but I'm very curious. I know some Lunar meteorites have visible free iron, and very slight noticeable magnetism, but, I don't know about Mar meteorites. Thanks in advance for answers.
