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?

@65dBnoise @ryanbanderson @nami_wiki Thinking out loud... Looking at the size of some of the boulders imbedded in the delta deposits there were some pretty cool flooding events that brought material into the crater (debris flows etc), I guess some of these float rocks imaged by the rover could have been transported in from outside the crater, and later liberated from the sedimentary deposits by differential erosion. I know it's best to wait for the official view, but speculation can be fun :)
