But in that book Nininger describes the one and only time he, purely by
chance, surface collected a previously unknown meteorite. As I recall,
it was a very small chondrite. If you can find that passage, or if

I want to thank Robert Woolard for answering my question regarding the

It was Puente-Ladron, an L chondrite of 7.673 grams which Nininger

I pray your friend will see some return from Michael some day.

I totally agree with Bernd that Thomas was very lucky indeed to have been
able to keep them and first of all very lucky to have found some.
As I understood from previous posts, I thought it was very hard to find some
at all.

Hi Moni and List,
Maybe its shale (?) that he found, that was another idea I heard.
Bernd have you seen them?
No, I haven't but, you are right, a lot of the fragments found in
