Meteorites from Mars have been found on Earth.
" How Did They Get Here?
The only natural process capable of launching martian rocks to Earth is meteorite impact. Mars’ surface has numerous impact craters of various sizes and ages. To be ejected from Mars, a rock must reach the escape velocity of 5.4 km/sec, which is more than five times the muzzle velocity of a hunting rifle. An impact capable of ejecting the martian meteorites would have left a crater 10-100 km across. "
