I want you to consider the comparative numbers of lunar and Martian meteorites that have been found vs. all other types combined. I'm not sure what the most up-to-date statistics are, but somewhere in the ballpark of 1 in 500 meteorites is lunar or Martian. It is extremely unrealistic to assume that your very first meteorite find will be of this type. You would need to find roughly 346 meteorites before you'd have even a 50-50 chance that one of them was either lunar or Martian. This doesn't even factor in the comparitive difficulty of recognizing a lunar or Martian rock vs. recognizing a chondrite. Chondrites without fusion crusts can still be recognized fairly easily in most cases; not so lunars and Martians. Given that you haven't found a single chondrite yet, it is presumptious in the extreme to think that you have magically acquired the skills necessary to find something far far rarer. Show me a chondrite. Until you do, it is ridiculous to mention achondrites. --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
