Hello Dave & List,

Dave, thanks for sharing this article. I found it very interesting
and admit that I had never given a second thought to the possibility
of meteorites being buried in sedimentary rock just as once living
organisms. I also found the information on their fossilization very
cool. Thanks again for sharing. For anyone who has not read it yet,
it's a short, yet informative article.

As for your stones, Dave, I am not a minerologist, so I will not
speculate on their type. If I were to give a guess though, I'd say
they're terrestrial.

Aloha!

Matt
