i wasn't thinking meteorite itself, only basaltic bedrock fragments induced by an impact, but LIBS should reveal, and there do appear to be the usual pattern of LIBS hits most visible in the shadowed portion at right sol1739 RMI image.. The mission update mentions "..We have ChemCam LIBS observations of targets named "Hamilton Pond," "Whalesback," and Rice Point."
