Mike...

 Is there anything
 new about Tissint, or any other meteorite that has emerged at this
 year's conference?

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! ;-)

Hi Mike and Kelly:

There were several sessions on the Dawn mission. Unfortunately, I missed
many of them on Friday. However, what was of most interest to me is the
likelihood that the dark areas on Vesta are the remnants of low velocity
impacts by carbonaceous asteroids. Hopefully over the next few months,
there will be some more news releases/publications on this.

PS Still not happy with calling Vesta a planet.

Hi Richard  all,

We already have meteorites representing this possible scenario with numerous
Howardites containing carbonaceous clasts. Have a look at this piece I got
from Edwin  Patrick Thompson about 6 months ago... beautiful material:

Cheers,

Jeff
