>Hi Shawn,
>thanks for pointing this out.

>I've only had a few minutes to skim through the special edition on Almahata Sitta but I am just finishing the process of printing out all of the articles and papers on these meteorites.

>AS certainly is an interesting fall. Besides the new type of chondritic material, that fall contained H5, L4, EH3, EH4/5, EH5, EH6, EL3/4, EL5/6 & EL6 material along with the bulk ureilitic mass.
>
>For those who haven't gotten a chance to see the online issue, a few more of the titles of the papers in the special edition:
>
>"Asteroid 2008 TC3?Almahata Sitta: A spectacular breccia containing many
>different ureilitic and chondritic lithologies"
>
>"Extraterrestrial amino acids in the Almahata Sitta meteorite"
>
>"Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in asteroid 2008 TC3 Dispersion of organic compounds inside asteroids"
>
>I'm looking forward to when I can find a few hours to hunker down and start pouring through all of the papers. I have to chuckle a bit when I think back to early 2009 when there were a few murmurs about some researchers how were happy about the event, but not overly pleased that AS was an ureilite. They would have preferred an OCs instead of a rare type. These grumbles faded pretty quickly.
>
>As for the original thread, someone with the means to do so could build an entire type set of AS all by itself.
