The reason = I ask is because I have gotten interested in a sort of unusual specialty = area - the find or fall consisting of a single specimen. TKW is not an = issue as it would be paired with no other specimen. An image comes to my mind of a single, lonely meteorite, a common = chondrite, out on the plains of the midwest US (for example) sitting = there for hundreds if not thousands of years, just waiting to be found = by anyone. Maybe it was looked and wondered about scores of times by = many a passerby or maybe just ignored. Anyone else have this interest? I would be interested in hearing about = others collecting interests.
