Hullo again, Just a meteoritic memory that stays with me - I had seen meteorites at the Natural History museum in London village - we used to go often - and would sit astride the 1/2 ton "Otumba" Campo that is still there. When I was in primary school, say aged about 8, I remember very clearly a lad bringing in what he claimed was a meteorite (he had a spacy name too...."Simon Saturn"). I remember it clearly as a roughly triangular lump about an inch across and being very heavy (dense) and light and dark brownish - I was fascinated and 30 odd years later I am sure it was a Canyon Diablo - the image remained so clear to me over the intervening decades.... Nice how we can recall...
