Hello All,

Well, let me first of all state that there are no ugly meteorites because
ugliness or beauty is in the eye of the beholder. O.R. Norton once called
these NWA's "ugly ducklings" but, as Tom was once again able to prove:
Sometimes it is a beautiful prince in disguise ;-)

Reference:

NORTON O.R. (2001) Ugly Ducklings of the desert (Meteorite Magazine,
August 2001, Vol. 7, No. 3, pp. 22-23).

Best regards,

Bernd
