Bill, I think your original post was a good question that I also would like an answer to, and I am reposting my original response to it in that it may promote some thoughtful speculation. David

Bill, I remember reading that too, and thought he may be speaking statistically. I know of no confirmation that anything is from Venus but there was some speculation about ureilites for a time. Current studies I have read determine an unlikelyhood of anything surviving the impact needed to launch something from Venus, but we can hope.... David
