Subject: [meteorite-list] Smallest Meteorite
Hello,
This question came up on another forum.
What is the smallest meteorite known? And I mean: still recognizable
(classifiable) as a meteorite.
And no, I am not talking about the highly questionable micrometeorites
supposedly found in gutters.
I am sure one of you will know the answer!!
Thanks.
