Hi Tom and List!
I´m not sure what the meaning of Metachondrite is, but in geology Meta-
stands for metamorphosis. So perhaps the person, who used this word, wanted
to make clear, that this chondrite is complete changed in something else or
more than other chondrites (shock is common). It´s not a

Hi Tom, Ingo, and List,
I think what Tom saw was a compound word: met + achondrite
= meteorite - achondrite

Hey List, I found out what a metachondrite is, I guess, if someone wants to
convert it to english, well it's in english, but it is all latin to me!!!

I would like to congratulate Tom on having his NWA 2905 and NWA 2906

That is really amazing if it is true. It is somewhat
surprising that a 7-8 mile diameter frozen lake wasn't
spotted sometime ago with all the surveying of the
planet's surface that has been conducted.
Cool!

Hi, Everybody
In addition:
The magnitude of 2006 EL61 is apparently 17.5, making it brighter
than the bigger 2003 UB313 (which is almost twice as far away).
Since the limiting magnitude of a 12 scope is 14.8, I doubt the
amateurs with a 12 scope saw it, unless they used a imaging
