Hello List,

Since the List is very quiet today, here is a question a friend of mine sent 
to me:
---------------
but I'm curious, what do you know about the ("fabled"?) Greensburg, KS, 
meteorite, supposedly a pallasite?  I see (from the internet) that the town claims 
this as the "world's largest pallasite" (they usually mis-spell it pallisite), 
though reliable sources rather say that Esquiel, Argentina (owned by Robert 
Haag) has that honor.  I don't have as a large a library of meteorite books as 
I might, and my copy of your catalog is in my office (I of, course, am at 
home, it being Christmas), and I haven't really been able to find anything on the 
web reliable about the Greensburg KS meteorite, other than the promotional 
material on web sites about the town, about how you can see this meteorite on 
display in their local museum.  Has it really been studied and catalogued, and is 
it really a pallasite? 
----------------

I am sure it has been discussed in the past, but then there may be new-comers 
from Kansas who would be interested too.
All answers much appreciated.
