Hello Randy, List:
1. I just wanted to thank Dr. Korotev -- a
long-established specialist in Lunar rocks from St. Louis, for the
opportunity to hear his present and future comments on the list!
2. On the scale, does this mean the
clasts get arbitrarily large for the known sample pool or is there a sort of
maximum size assumed, my head is starting to hurt to imagine what sort of size
distribution this could be. It couldn't be constant or you'd bump in to
some very large pieces too frequently (??), but at the other extreme an inverse
exponential wouldn't give you the robust size representations you are looking
for in the asphalt, right, wrong, or... The 'fractal' thought suggests
a pattern- is this just the "feel" of randomness at all reasonable lab
scales or do you know if more can be read into this? If there really
is a maximum size we can keep in mind for clasts, what would that be - over a
variety of localities, and how much does this vary, I wonder. Any
help would be kind, though the question is mostly curiosity, it could come
in handy while hunting meteorites. And it is hard to reproduce this idea
in a sandbox. The closest I can come is looking at a suspension like milk,
under magnification?

Everything you ever wanted to know is probably here on Lunar recognition, thanks
to the excellent web site Randy maintains at Wash. U. St. Louis. (As in
Missouri.)
Best wishes, Doug
