If it exploded and not simply fragmented, I wouldn't expect too much in

Dear George,
	Yes, those "marble sized" meteorites (and smaller) constituted the
great majority of the 1912 Holbrook (L6) fall - one of the more
spectacular falls in modern times in the U.S; hardly one I would call
"not too much."
	Best wishes,  
	Michael
