Hi Anne and all,
Silent list like silent night.
Greensburg is really a Brenham pallasite and yes properly classified and
studied. No
it isn't the largest pallasite in the world. I don't think that Esquel is
either as
Huckitta is pretty large and I think larger than Esquel.
Just a while back we were discussing the largest pallasites so should be in the
archives by now. I may be wrong since I didn't crack open any books and I am
going
from memory. All my best!
