Back to the ventifact markings on the Martian rock...
There is no a priori reason why an iron meteorite can't be ventifacted.
I have never seen one though...
I have seen ventifacted chondrites - no sharp delineations...
But has anyone ever seen a ventifacted iron here on Earth?
If so, can you link us to some photos?

Actually, photos of any ventifacted iron on Earth would be useful for 
comparison.

Cheers,
Nick
