Wasn't there a lady professor that wrote an article a while back on
the possibility of there being atypical appearing meteorites and we
might be overlooking them? I realize that is somewhat of a wide-open
question but to possibly narrow it down a bit, the name Prof. C.
Floss seems to come to mind in my remembering this article. Seems
like it had to do with mantle or lack of meteorites from a certain
layer, or something similar. Anyone else remember this article? I'd
like to read it again if I could come up with the link.
