If it came in on an angle, it could have bounced and landed there. Or it could be a fragment of a bigger one that just happened to land there.

Either way, it's a rock. The analysis NASA did says it's rather high in magnesium (I think that's what it was..) Much ado about nothing, imo.

NASA detecting methane in the atmosphere has been the highlight of this current mission.
