Interesting,...I wonder if this can help explain the 'pellets' strewn about mars, as well as the glassy moist looking surfaces on the rocks.
Lots of Iron too, and iron oxide is reddish, kinda like mars soil.
Interesting.

This is not the area I usually post in, but I saw this news item, and thought I'd share it. It about the discovery of a new mineral from the
moon:
"A new mineral formed by repeated bombardments from meteorites and other space debris has been found in a meteorite that fell to Earth from the moon in 2000, researchers reported on Monday.
...The new mineral is named hapkeite, after Bruce Hapke, an emeritus professor of geology and planetary sciences at Cornell University in New York, who predicted its discovery.
...In theory, it is formed by the impact of micrometeorites traveling at high speed. The heat from their impact melts and vaporizes metals, which are then redeposited on rock fragments as tiny, scattered beads in a glassy coating. "
