there was an oral session on "New Martian Meteorites", and the lead paper described Tissint (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2012/pdf/2510.pdf). but that's it re: Tissint. elsewhere, I chased down a couple of papers alluding to specific comets capable of dropping meteorites, but the modeling is (IMHO) incomplete. so you'll just have to settle for LPSC results having to do with planets! ;-) http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/March-Madness-on-Mercury-143756146.html clear skies, Kelly **************** J.
