[meteorite-list] Odour of meteorites

2006-04-20 Thread Pelé Pierre-Marie
Hello to the List, I hope you won't laugh ;-) at my question which is serious. I would like to know if any studies had been done about the odour of meteorites. I mean, are there any odour components in meteorites (or in some kind of meteorites), like sulphur compounds for example ?
