I think that "Earthites" would have a very high amount
of Maskelynite should plagioclase be present in the
parent rock. The impacts from earth would be so
energetic as to create more of this mineral than in
Martian meteorites.

The atmospheric composition would then, just as the
case with Martian meteorites, reveal that such rocks
are indeed from earth and are thus "Earthites."
