Maybe this has something to do with it. They may tend to weather away faster. I have never held a large piece of Chassigny so I can not say from experience if it is as fragile as Nakhla.</P> <P>Randy<BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: "Jamie Ekholm" <JME_EKHOLM_at_NCIS.NET> <DIV></DIV>>To: <METEORITE-LIST_at_METEORITECENTRAL.COM> <DIV></DIV>>Subject: [meteorite-list] SNCs <DIV></DIV>>Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 11:29:43 -0600 <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I am just curious. Does anyone know why it seems Shergottites are more common than Nakhlites or Chassignites? It just seems that if a new Martian meteorite is found, you can almost bet it will be a Shergottite. Is it just that they had a better chance of surviving the journey from impact on mars to the fall through our atmosphere? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Jamie <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag1_etl_EN.asp'>Click Here</a><br></html> Received on Sun 17 Feb 2002 10:23:56 AM PST |
