Kevin, Ron, and the rest - Good day to you all! In the past I've deleted all the posts about the "Dog" before even opening them but I've been reading the past few days worth and just have one question - So what? If the meteorite did or did not kill the dog - why does it inflame people so either way? At the end of the day we still have this wonderful martian meteorite that has stimulated much discussion and experimentation leading us to a better understanding of the red planet. I don't think that by hitting the dog it would have altered its mineralogy or chemistry in anyway so I don't really care if the poor dog died of a meteorite strike or crocodile attack. But, if I can hook a room full of students with a story about a dog supposedly being killed by a meteorite fall, then I'll shamelessly use it. Steven Singletary 54-1224 Dept.
