Interesting research...I had the privilege of sitting in on the seminar
Queenie gave to peers about all this last year before it went to
publication....and Monahans was the other meteorite. Some interesting
discussions during the seminar testing out the robustness of the research
and with Monica Grady about the story around Monahans nearly hitting the
lads playing basketball.
