WOW, now this is good news. I knew they were going to grind it, but never
followed up on it. The first known and named meteorite sitting on the
surface of another planet! How cool is that?
Man, I hope we can bring it here some day! It should be at the Smithsonian,
what a centerpiece, and iron meteorite collected on Mars.

On another Mars note, the newest confirmed Martian meteorite is NWA 2975. A
shergottite that is considered to be the freshest hot-desert find known. The
main mass is sold, only 2.5 grams remain to be sold, and a small piece is in
the Michael Blood auction. 
You may see it on display in my room at the Inn Suites #184 before the new
owner takes possession of it.
