Hello List,

Yesterday was not only the 39th birthday anniversary of the famous
Allende CV3.2 carbonaceous chondrite but also my second grandson
Elias's 5th birthday. Once again "Many happy returns of the day"
to both of them!

Today we can celebrate the 79th birthday of a lesser known meteorite:
that of the monomict, Lithuanian eucrite Padvarninkai, which fell on
Feb 09, 1929, 00:45 hrs.

And now let's go sleuthing if you happen to be in such a mood: Go to
p. 276 of the BBB (Big Blue Book, a.k.a. Catalogue of Meteorites, 4th
edition) and then to p. 390 of the 5th edition (a.k.a. MMC or Monica
Grady's Catalogue of Meteorites and try to "unveil" what's wrong ;-)

Sleuthingly
Yours,

Bernd
