Have to agree with Mike on this one -- "orientated" has an awful sound to it. I flinch nearly as much when I see that word as I do reading "proof" when "prove" is meant, and "prove" when "proof" is meant (how do people confuse the two?)
So that this post is somewhat more meteorite-related, I note (as I believe another list member did a day or so ago) that something is wrong with the story about the supposed iron fall in Sri Lanka: "The object weighing 47.015 kg with a 4.75 specific gravity was fallen..." Either the specific gravity is wrong (or in unfamiliar units), or the mass is wrong, or the object isn't an iron meteorite. I suppose it could still be another type of meteorite (meso or pallasite?) --Rob ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
