Meteorite from Mars

Meteorite from Mars

From Sotheby's:

The largest piece of Mars on Earth is now the most valuable meteorite ever sold at auction after it achieved $5.3 million in the Natural History sale during Sotheby's Geek Week.

Somebody is convinced that it came from Mars. Rocks fall out of the sky everyday, most of them are too small to notice, and most of them don't come from Mars. Assuming somebody is right, then this is a really freak occurrence. It would have to have been a big meteor to hit Mars in order to knock this rock into space where it floated for a zillion years until it got captured in Earth's gravity and plummeted to the ground in Africa. Very freaky.

I would have thought it would have rounded edges, not angular ones, being as it probably entered the Earth's atmosphere traveling at several miles per second, but whatever.
