[meteorite-list] Curiosity Just Found a Freaky Metal Meteorite on Mars

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

Hi Tom and all,

Besides this find of a meteorite on Mars, some of the robot explores 
there have found other meteorites in the past. Since Mars has such a 
thin atmosphere, the meteorites don't get ablated like they do during a 
fall here on Earth. Seeing the meteorites there on Mars, they are more 
like they would have looked when they were floating around in space, a 
rougher look.

Also one robot (can't remember which) on Mars ground into some of the 
rocky material and found they very much resemble some of our Martian 
Meteorites that have landed here on Earth. Exciting stuff for sure.
