Ron,
This is really interesting stuff. Athough I agree with you that it is
possible that water could have been in a liquid state on an asteroidal body,
I am wondering why we have no other H-5 chondrites that have ever been found
with aquious alterations. Monahans appears to be quite unique in this
respect.
