Yes, I noticed that too. Could just be a
coincidence, however. The dates are almost 2 weeks apart.

Hello everyone, well here is the preliminary
classification data on the MOSS Norway meteorite fall.
Dr Jeff Grossman is doing the classification and he
sent me the following information a little while ago.
I have removed some parts of the email which is not
for public release yet, but the basics

years classified so quickly. Specimens have been
distributed to scientists all over the country for
analysis so I expect many papers on this fall to be
written in the near future.
Thanks for the update, and thanks for getting those samples
Congratulations to our two listmenbers, Mike Farmer for his difficult part
and now especially to Dr. Grossman for his academic toils in a teamwork
combination that earns my respect. Mike, thanks for making the provisional
info available sooner rather than later for everyone concerned, too.
Best

But when you look at the other CO3 falls it becomes
a bit obvious:
Warrenton , Fall 3rd January 1877, 07:15h
Felix, Fall 15th May 1900, 11:30h
Kainsaz, Fall
Jeff Grossman kindly wrote to Mike Farmer:
Petrologically, Moss is a CO3. It contains chondrules, CAIs, AOIs, and
metal/sulfide grains in the appropriate size range ... The distribution
of chondrule types is typical for a CO3.
Just in case list members have been asking themselves what
AOIs are.
Thanks Bernd, I'm one of those who were wondering!
Kind regards

Hi all -
Dammit! The only way that you would have an annual
fall would be if a debris stream intersected the Earth
at the same time each year. This is highly unlikely.
What these people (I can't do it myself any longer)
need to be looking for is regular intervals, and
multiples of those

Hi Ed:
That is almost as hard to believe as meteor showers (debris from a comet)
occurring on the same day each year!
Actually, probably does not have to be every year, just every few years. If
these come from the breakup of a near Earth asteroid, the debris would
probably spread out from the
