Welcome to "our" List! "I have been an amateur atronomer since I was a child" You will find out that many of us are both amateur astronomers (or have a vivid interest in everything celestial) and passionate lovers of these messengers from the sky. " ...a meteorwrong [vesicular basalt] here in New England." What a pity it is a meteorwrong. A brief, passing look and one might think it is a vesicular impact melt rock like Cat Mountain (an L5 impact melt breccia which has vesicles too!). "Anyway, I'm happy to be among this illustrious company" Your family name should be a good omen, because it is also an illustrious name meteorite-wise. Here's an example: ART. XXXIX.-Preliminary Note on the Shower of Meteoric Stones near Holbrook, Navajo County, Arizona, July 19th, 1912, including a Reference to the Perseid Swarm of Meteors visible from July 11th to August 22nd by WARREN M. FOOTE. "Unfortunately I'm 54" No problem at all ... I am almost 61 ;-) Best wishes from Germany, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
