Hi list!
Hope all is well for list members.
Quick question. Does anyone know how fast desert varnish adheres to a freshly
fallen meteorite? (days, months, years?) I'm sure there are a number of
variables, such as Western United States dry lake beds -vs- NWA's. Is there a
formula for reaching an answer? Has this been researched?

Thanks and best to all!
