However, even though I know OF the study being done, I don't know where to find those results. Maybe someone here has it. Of course, even thouse results would only apply to an object hitting in the same ground type/conditions. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
