Oh well, we can always dream! I remain convinced that there are meteorites-a-plenty on Mars, just waiting for us to go and collect... even wrote a section of my kids SF novel about just such an expedition... One day there'll be a "meteorite gold rush" there, I'm sure, maybe even with impoverished Martian field geologists sending / smuggling rare specimens back to Earth to eager buyers... Of course, no-one on this List would ever *dream* of doing such a thing, I'm sure... ;-) Stu http://hometown.aol.com/stuartatk/myhomepage/profile.html --part1_b1.781a71b.27c78071_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Kelly, <BR> <BR>That makes a lot of sense, thanks... where I live, here in the Lake District <BR>in the north of England, I'm surrounded by glacier-carved valleys, classic, <BR>u-shaped basins, and the low lying fields are just a giant's playground of <BR>boulders.
