Of course, if anyone here is familiar with Tintin (in particular,
Tintin and The Shooting Star), one knows that the elements in at
least some meteorites can create such beasts...

Many studies have been done which suggest some microbes or Archaea could
potentially survive a short trip to mars inside a rock (under perfect
ideal conditions that is), even Lichen has been shown to survive in
space. But the physics of a suitable impact would suggest that at best

I think most scientists would call it a terrestrial meteorite, or
perhaps a terran meteorite.

It certainly appears to be the first in a series, but I haven't seen anything

Hello List,
I have added a few things to my Ebay Store. Some cool Oriented Gaos and
other oddities.
Of note is the 20% sale I am running on the Thin Sections for this weekend
(starting at 1pm Eastern). They were priced low to start with. 20% off
is a great deal.

Hi all -
One of the big reasons for the push behind panspermia comes from the usual
manned Mars flight nuts who hope to wish away the back-contamination problem.
One can read Zubrin or his followers to see examples this kind of wishful hand

Though related to my questions, it's not exactly what I was referring

pathogens and manned flight returning from Mars poses a serious implication.

I thought I would add a little something to the thin section posts.
I have become a very big fan of thin sections since my introduction to them. I
find they offer a really unique look into just what meteorites really are.
I owe a big thanks to Anthony Love at App State for sparking my interest
Totally agree with Mark's quote below about Panspermia. As to reverse
contamination-- studies so far suggest launching and landing temperatures are
sufficiently low that neither process sterilizes the cargo: Mars to Earth or
Earth to Mars transport.

One thought from the peanut gallery - what if we (or some other
species) accidentally terraformed a world by contaminating it with
microbes? Imagine if a world like Mars got infected (so to speak)
with a
There are really two kinds of panspermia. The extreme sort, which is hard to
take seriously, is that life was seeded on Earth from deep space. The other,
which is hard _not_ to take seriously, is that life (or its building blocks)
might have been distributed within the Solar System by impacts.
Uh oh, too late! I have a few Martian crumbs in my collection. *cough* *cough*
Getting dizzy...

There you go again providing the perfect answers. Thank you.

to identify it correctly? That is to say would we not simply ASSume it came

I propose an experiment..
A small container containing a mixture of gasses
that are the equal to a Mars atmosphere with
a mixture of some material from a Mars meteorite.
(Such material needs to come from the center of
the meteorite to lessen the chances of contamination
from earth origins).
On a more realistic note...(though I applaud the jocularity)
The whole fear that return samples from Mars, either by robotic mission or
manned, seems thoroughly irrational to me.

This is a recurrent theme, one I am interested in myself and when I first

Earth vs lunar is quite easy to nail down. The geology of lunar meteorites tend
to be rather similar despite different physical appearances.
Btw. Are there already results of the SPORES and the MARSTOX II experiments
available?
Best!

Hi, E and List,
Bret Gladman's simulations of rocks blasted off
the Earth by impact show about 50% of them being
re-captured from independent orbits and returning
as meteorites. The time scale for re-capture varies
from 10,000 years to 10,000,000 years. So, if there
were any returns from the

These experiments have been done, starting early

the answer is that Earthly life of the simple and tough

environments. This without enough time to genetically
