According to the meteorite definition: a meteorite is an extraterrestrial
object that had survived crossing EARTH atmosphere.
True, so a slight revision to the defintion will be needed:
A meteorite is an object from space that has reached the surface
of a planet.
That's a way so solve the

Hi Rob and list,
Rob said, One question: what do we call a meteorite found on Mars?
Martian
meteorite is ambiguous... --Rob
I guess they would have to call it Opportunity 001 as it is the closet
locality that may be considered a Post Office. It does send and receive
messages and images
If confirmed, it can be named, but won't need any special designation like
Aresite... it will simply be another asteroidal meteorite, this one found
on Mars. It would be wrong to call it a Martian meteorite because the
adjective refers to the place of origin, not the place of find. We already

if you thought the price of first class mail was getting pretty steep, you
would HATE to see the price of a stamp to

There is no such thing as THE definition of meteorite. However, there is
a really good one published by Rubin and Grossman (1998): What is a
meteorite? The pursuit of a comprehensive definition. Meteorite! 4:24-25.
This definition does not require the accreting body to be Earth.

Hey, I'm gonna remind everyone on this list back in
early 2004 that I said on this list the rovers would
find Mars meteorites! Below a certain size, the thin
atmosphere of Mars would slow them below
hypervelocity, and since big meteorites are
comparatively rare, there should still be plenty of
