Hi Eduardo, Thanks for the correction on that. Those are new localities to me. Now I have two more localities to acquire for my impactite collection. I'm still a little skeptical of the fossil issue. Almost every time we hear about fossils in meteorites, it's baloney - like the Martian blood-vessels guy.
