EETA 79001 - Mars rock blasted to Earth by meteorite strike on Mars
"Bounced Rock" - rock found _by Opportunity_ that closely matches EETA 79001
"Heat Shield Rock" - meteorite of unknown but possibly ancient fall also found _by Opportunity_

Speculate wildly. (Like, for instance, the Heat Shield Rock being just a fragment of a much larger
ancient fall, strong enough to blast rocks...)
