In fact the latest finding that Bounce rock is closely related to other meteorites helps seal the case for rock transfers between Mars and Earth. There has been a lot of work done on this. The fact that the microbes are small is a problem though. However, other meteorites are being studied which look even more intriguing than AL, including the Shergotty meterorite, which has so much in common with Bounce:
