I recently purchased a .1g piece of Karoonda, (a CC of type CK4) to replace a similar size piece that I destroyed last week by merely showing it to someone. I had it in a glass top sample can, mounted on cotton. I removed the lid and we placed it under the scope. When finished, I pressed the lid back on.. and smoosh... it turned into thousands of little Karoonda's. I had no idea it was this fragile. The question here is (3 parts) 1.How could the main mass ever survive a journey through the atmosphere let alone the impact on earth? (2)Has a parent body for this material been suggested? (3)What is the most fragile meteorite known?
Thanks in advance for an answer to any or all, CharlyV ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
