Did you ever get a response to your question on whether aubrites could possibly come from the Earth? Very interesting thoughts, to be sure, but I believe Sterling inferred that as a possibility.? I also believe his last sentence says it all, I guess.

As a side note, if aubrites did come from the Earth, What is the probability or possibility that they would contain some fossils? Microbes, sea shells, plant life...? Even water? If no fossils would that be compelling enough that they did not come from Earth?

This may not surprise you but, I did not know that aubrites plotted on the same
oxygen slope line as Earth and our Moon.
Does this mean that Aubrites could possibly be meteorites from Earth? I believe
it was decided earlier they would be called "terrane"meteorites?...
