I think this indicates a new question: Are sedimentary meteorites possibible? People mostly don´t think about this problem and so this problem don´t exist! We all knew, that we have rocks from Mars, but this rocks are "only" igneous! Why most people don´t accept, that sedimantary rocks could be hard enough to survive a impact (and this is the main problem) and become meteorites? I don´t know how many of you ever piced up a hammer and go out in the field to have a look to terrestrial rocks. I´ve made this since I´m 8 years old and I´ve seen a lot of sed. rocks hard enough to do so. There are sed. rocks on the Mars that´s sure, so why not a Mars sandstone or limestone? And what´s about planetary metamorphic rocks (not shock met.).............? Just a few wild thoughts Ingo/Germany --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- > Von: "Sterling K.
