HOGAN JENNY (2004) 'Weird' meteorite may be
from Mars moon (New Scientist, April 21, 2004):

Andrei Ivanov, who is based at the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and
Analytical Chemistry in Moscow, Russia, spent two decades puzzling over the
fist-sized Kaidun meteorite before he decided that it must be a chip off Phobos,
the larger of the two Martian moons. "I can't find a better candidate," Ivanov
told New Scientist.The idea is plausible, if somewhat speculative, says S. Russell,
a meteorite expert at the Natural History Museum in London. "There have been no
landers sent to Phobos and so almost nothing is known about the composition and
geology of this body."

ZOLENSKY M. et al. (2001) Kaidun: A smorgasbord
of new asteroid samples (MAPS 36-9, 2001, A233):

A typical Kaidun thin section exhibiting an incredible
clast diversity. A few of the identified clasts are:

(a) impact melt,
(b) enstatite chondrite,
(c) CI chondrite,
(d) CM1 chondrite,
(e) Tagish Lake-type chondrite,
(f) CM2 chondrite
