Wow! Well blow me down! And I thought those Bessy Specks I once bought were
the "Smallest Meteorites"

The data I read on Revelstoke was different than what is reported in the
Meteoritical Bulletin. Still, 10mg is very small, barely ponderable and
almost a micrometeorite!

Adam

Revelstoke had a recovered mass of about 1 g. Yamato 8333 is listed
as being 10 mg, which is only 1% as massive as Revelstoke.
