Dear Mike and List,

I am not going to entertain an argument as this is the
usual end result of any new meteorite fall when
marketing is involved. Falls are sometimes talked to
death until even relative information becomes buried
in the too numerous to count emails. I bet all of the
pertinent information could have been contained in
about a dozen posts, not a thousand.

The interesting thing about the Sikhote Alin impact
holes are that the largest pieces came from the
smallest holes from what I read. I am using the same
convention discussed in meteorite books that were used
in describing the Sikhote Alin fall. Even though some
of the "craters" had raised rims and an explosive
event took place, they were still defined as impact
holes. Maybe the definition is different when
referring to chondrites but I do not think this has
been addressed in a formal manner. I think it could be
called either without losing the importance of the
event of which is getting buried in too numerous to
count emails.

That's all from me,

Adam
