[meteorite-list] Horned lizards at Franconia

[Bill Southern]

You are absolutely correct on the Horned Lizard and I also have come across 
this species in the same area. Another one of my hobbies.... Desert Iguana 
(Dispsosaurus dorsalis) is also fairly common in the area and will let you 
walk right up on them... Guess I'm a little off topic, but there were after 
all meteorites there :)
