Interesting points!

I think the temperature on mars might also have something to do with the
existence of iron rich 'red soil', frost thaw frost thaw for billions of
years, would create a fine dust, in its self would it not?

Anyone fancy crushing a cold Martian meteorite in rarified CO2 and water
and seeing if it eventually goes red? :)

..If you think mars Mars is a floating chemistry, set take a look at
some of the Galliean moons WOW!

How about a large iron impacting the Northern hemisphere of Mars
creating an impact basin now filled by lava and mud.

The iron impactor disintegrated and spread iron all over the planet in
a fallout cloud and created a layer of iron rich material on the
surface.

The weather on Mars continues to spread the meteorite material around.
Other large scale impacts have created layered regolith. The lack of
water erosional processes allow us to see the impact debris still
scattered all over the surface.

regards to all in meteorite land
