Hi List,

My two smallest "complete" meteorites are Chergach peas. One weighs
436mg (but has a chip in the crust) and the other is 787mg and is 100%
crusted.

I'd post photos, but both of camera batteries are dead, so I'll post
some photos of them later. :)

Mike Farmer - those Bensours sound like BB's instead of peas. :)

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG
