Good question, Mike, and one that I've thought about, too.

Some Lunars appear to have such a varied brecciated interior, could there possibly be any of the original impactor embedded within?

If Mars has its red hue due to the high iron oxide content, are Martians even minutely magnetic?

Cheers,
Pete

Hi List,
Here are a couple questions that might inspire a topic for a "Collection of Wisdoms" - Magnetic properties of stonys.

I'm curious to know if anyone has undertaken the task of testing and documenting the magnetic properties found in the different groups and/ or sub-groups of stony meteorites. I'm curious to know too... Most articles I have read on Martian and Lunar pieces say they are not attracted to a magnet. Is this known to be without exception?
