What is most unusual about these rocks is that they have compositions similar to Earth's andesite continental crust...

Isn't it possible that's exactly what they are? It seems possible that fragments of crustal rocks could be ejected out of the Earth's atmosphere by a cometary or asteroid impact. Such ejected fragments might later fall to earth as meteorites.

Might they not?

"What is most unusual about these rocks is that they have compositions similar to Earth's andesite continental crust - what makes up the ground beneath our feet," says University of Maryland's James Day, lead author of the study. "No meteorites like this have ever been seen before."
