 hi list, i wrote nasa at what i think was the houston
texas meteorite collection, and got an answer from dr.
john jones via his boss, i think, allen carlton
and he said at the end of his letter that we really
don't know if impact melts are rare or not on
asteroids, but very common on the moon,
he said 2 likely causes they seem to be rare might be
preferential loss during impact or asteroids have
relatively low impact velocities.
veryyyy interestinggg
happy collecting from arlington texas
david
