Hello Marcin and List,

Well, first of all, I'd say that several Tazas are not so very oriented
in the classical sense of the term - I'd rather call them weakly or
slightly oriented and as for the ones which show a certain amount of
orientation, my guess is that the smaller Tazas did not break apart upon
impact or during atmospheric entry but entered the atmosphere as several
small individuals (like a rubble pile or a meteor shower) and could thus
keep a relatively stable position on their way through the atmosphere.

So go to Scott Brey's website but be careful you might
start salivating the farther you scroll down :-)
