Bolides and Mars

Well, it's my "thesis" that perhaps as we close in on Mars, more Martian
rocks will fall to earth..I surmise that
there are probably hundreds or 1000's in all kinds of eccentric orbits
around Mars balsted away eons ago just waiting to be tipped
into a collision with Earth...the moon and Earth would exert a subtle
influence perhaps and nudge a few our way..

If we're lucky! I only have a 32mg fragment of DAG 476 and a smaller piece
of Zagami at the moment. I'd like to add more Martian rock to my
collection. The stuff is just too expensive.
