Norton=B9s new book, the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites, he uses the term brustseite to describe oriented meteorites. Th= e footnote at the bottom of the page offers the following: =B3The word brustseite is German literally translated as breast side, or more appropriately, front side. It is a seldom used term in meteoritics today, but still useful when referring to oriented meteorites which in many cases mimic the shape of the female breast.=B2 Disregarding the =B3appropriately=B2-ness of the translation, I am wondering if there is a more breast-like oriented meteorite than Archie, Missouri. Here is a link to a picture (it=B9s just a meteorite picture, no comparison is included): http:aristotle.isu.edu/web_presence/archie.jpg Remember, Archie is 70 years old (;- ) Cheers, Martin --B_3100243984_424169 Content-type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>The Brustseite</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <FONT FACE=3D"Verdana">Hi All,<BR> <BR> On page 52 of O.R.
