@PaulHammond51 @65dBnoise I don't see anything particularly unusual about these rocks, and certainly no clear signs of them being meteorites. Look like pretty normal dark fine grained rocks to me.

@ryanbanderson @65dBnoise I believe the reference to 'falling from the sky' by 65dBnoise related to 'lava bomb' rather than from space. I'm still leaning towards the fractures being from eons of thermal stress cycles.

Yes, as @PaulHammond51 said, I meant a lava bomb, not a meteorite. I must be careful now that the fediverse has expanded and not assume everyone interested in Mars has followed our musings here :)

In another thread I jokingly said: the next question after "was there life in Jezero?" will be "where is the volcano?" 😀 That 'lava bomb' boulder looks very puzzling to my layman eyes. How can something like this happen?
