I would like to clarify that I mean "attracted" to a magnet. Not
intrinsically magnetic itself, as in attracting metal objects.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake Greg! ;)

Hi Bernd,
I meant to address this email to you and not to Eric. So here it is again.
I have always wondered why people here on the List, keep referring
to some meteorites as being "magnetic". To me, being magnetic means
having the properties of a magnet. There are no meteorites that
natually attract iron, so why are they described as being
"magnetic"? Am I wrong?
Regards,
Greg L.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Are Mars Meteorites Magnetic?
Eric inquired:
"Are Mars meteorites magnetic at all?"
Some of them are definitely attracted to a magnet!
One of these is Bob Verish's Los Angeles and when I held
a magnet to one my LAs, it readily jumped to the magnet!
See, for example:
COLLINSON D.W.(1997) Magnetic properties of Martian meteorites:
Implications for an ancient Martian magnetic field (Meteoritics
32-6, 1997, 803).
Best wishes for 2012,
Bernd
