[meteorite-list] Martian Meteorite Heat Ablation?

[Mark Crawford]

On a similar point... what size would meteorites have to be to have a 
chance of being found on the moon?  Small ones would vapourise, large 
ones would vapourise a lot of the sirface material... is it possible 
that any recognisable fragments would survive?
