On the subject of what to call a meteorite found on Mars, I propose
the new word "aresite".  And while I'm at it, we might as well look
to the future and coin the words "aphroditite" and either "hermesite"
or "hermite" (though the latter is already a well-known proper name
from the world of mathematics).  --Rob
