Every piece we have in hour collections is but a smaller fragment of some larger piece, which existed at some point in time. Off to eat a nice spaghetti dinner now, my favorite! Hope to have a nice large main mass on my plate. -Walter --------------------------------------------- www.branchmeteorites.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Schultz" <indy1996_at_yahoo.com> To: "Michael L Blood" <mlblood_at_cox.net>; <MeteorHntr@aol.com>; <meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Friday, May 02, 2003 3:54 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Main Mass Status > Greetings.
