Planets have their own isotopic signature, with all the probes they have sent to Mars, such as the voyagers and rovers they have a pretty good idea what a Martian rock is made up of.
So once they have found out it is a Martian rock the only theory they have come up with how it gets here is through another meteorite colliding with Mars, wild, thanks for dropping by.
Hi y08y, it does sound far fetched doesn't it, I think what happens someone finds a meteorite that has fallen, sells it to a buyer, now in North West Africa usually meteor hunters and they know contacts, buyers and such.
The buyer or major mass holder takes it to official sources, universities and the like, the officials for a piece of the meteorite will classify it and do research on it, this is where they study the actual isotopes and the mineral breakdown to find out where it came from.
Sure and they can prove that it comes from Mars...sigh. I also doubt that any comet or asteroid can send rocks back into space, especially considering that Mars gravity is as close is Earth's and that rocks will always leave the the surface under a steep angle and never straight up, so ot means that they have to travel even more to leave the surface. Without any scientific proof I have strong doubts.
And then to think that the rocks don't burn under that speed and pressure and manage to overcome Mars gravity and have enough speed to leave Mars' orbit (about 10,000km/hr!! on Earth as far as I can remember) then coincidentally end up on a planet like ours at least 35 million miles away, then by coincidence don't burn up in the atmosphere and then by accident are found by someone who also recognizes it as a "Mars" stone. Oh yeah, they only found 50, right. C'monget serioussigh
if this is a meteroite I bet it is non-martian..
