Hi all,
The name that stands out in my mind is Zzyzx Nevada. I remember driving through
there the first time in a 60 Ford Falcon in August, no ac of course. When I
read the Zzyzx sign it defined my state of mind. Kind of like a frying short
circut. Little Cow Hole Mountain is nearby as well...
Hi Bill,
I agree that Zzyzx would make a terrific meteorite name! (Zzyzx is
actually in California just off I-15). --Rob

Hello Bernd,
It is well possible that untrapped noble gases are the source of the vesicles.
Dhofar 025 is a lunar regolith and so should contain large amounts of solar

However, it contains only small amounts of
