Abstract
The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity has come across several possible meteorites, among them the only officially recognized meteorite on another planet, the IAB iron meteorite Meridiani Planum. Three meteorite candidate rocks investigated by Opportunity - informally dubbed Barberton, Santa Catarina, and Santorini by the MER team - have very similar chemical and mineralogical compositions and are probably paired . We discuss the implications for the Meridiani Planum terrain.
