Hi Pekka,

many thanks for putting the picture online!

It's fascinating - I think now the problem of the conservation of meteorites
is solved:
Just throw your collections in the next ocean or lake.....

Hello, Martin A. and the list.

and thank you for the pic, Martin A. Well, these are really
not micrometeorites.

I put the pic on the net;

http://www.dlc.fi/~nuuska/kinnekulle.jpg

just to save time and trouble from Martin, hope this is ok.
If not, Martin, please, let me know, and Iīll remove the pic.

I thik, this is a beaty worth to share. I also aggree with Bjorn,
these should be listed as a "real" find in the cataloque.


take care,

pekka s
