Abstract
The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is exploring the Meridiani Planum terrain of Mars. The area is characterized by a sulfaterich bedrock largely covered by windblown basaltic sand and a hematite lag. Only two large rocks (Bounce Rock and Heat Shield Rock) have been observed; they are interpreted as ejecta from a distant crater and an iron meteorite, respectively. However, numerous cobbles (here, rock fragments >1 cm) are scattered across the surface of Meridiani Planum. Here we make the case for the possible meteoritic origin of one of these cobbles.
