going to change the subject to Vesta and its core

well. This being said, at 2.35 A.U. Vesta wouldn’t be able to attain an iron

Chris,
this crater was highlighted in one of the Meteorite Men episodes, and yes
they found meteorites outside the prohibited zone. Maybe Steve or Geoff can
provide an update on the status of the export permits for their finds?

Hi Chris and List,
That is an interesting number - 4 out of 57.
At one time, all 57 craters had meteorites. One can assume that
terrestrialization takes it's toll over time, but to have surviving
meteorites at only 4 craters is interesting to me. Without looking at
the crater ages, I bet those

I believe the original Haviland crater (Brenham) was filled in by the
landowner and wasn't an explosive type crater.

Hi Tom,
I am confused by your post. You memtioned that 5363 is 5400 paired.
But NWA5400 is a brachnite like but not a brachnite due to its
terrestial osotope. It is a terrestial meteorite or ungrouped. To be a
brachnite and nwa5400 paired is a contradiction to me. Anyway I cannot
find the 5363
Kai,
NWA 5363 is in fact paired with NWA 5400. Neither one of them are brachinites.
They are both brachinite -like and are both ungrouped Achondrites.

This was discussed at length only 6 weeks ago. Let's not do that again.
