Let's try this again.....No human being has ever physically held in their hands and/or observed first hand with their eyes, a (non-meteoritic) "Mars rock". Using Sterling's logic, then we've see Venusian rocks too. Anybody want to give a detailed description? We've also seen Erosian (?) rocks and boulders...what do they look like? Anyone wanna try Europian (ala Europa)? I've seen pictures of Coelacanths, but I can't say I've actually SEEN a Coelacanth. Here's a thought.....No person has ever actually SEEN their own face. We've seen photos or a reflection of it, but never has anyone gazed upon their own.
