Eric inquired:
"Are Mars meteorites magnetic at all?"
Some of them are definitely attracted to a magnet!
One of these is Bob Verish's Los Angeles and when I held
a magnet to one my LAs, it readily jumped to the magnet!
See, for example:
COLLINSON D.W.(1997) Magnetic properties of Martian meteorites:
Implications for an ancient Martian magnetic field (Meteoritics 32-6, 1997, 803).
Best wishes for 2012,
Bernd
