Absolutely Cool!!!!!! As you might assume, I'm rather new to meteoritics and
newer still to the List.
For the first time ever I had an (what I thought at the time) incredible
thought. Suppose, just suppose that on some future Lunar, Planetary or
Jovian or Saturn satallite exploration, we earthlings stumble upon an Earth
Rock catapulted off the planet by some cataclysmic impact, perhaps "Devil's
Tail" or a Permian event!
All great Ideas are implanted in our unconscious, perhaps the list, or God,
who knows? But it's comforting to know I'm not alone in the wonderful world
engendered by Rocks that fall from the Sky. I'm glad I live today and not
100 years ago when such ideas were thought to be fanciful. Thank you Bill,
and thanks to the List. Jerry
