[meteorite-list] ya think your so smart, what's this?

[Zelimir Gabelica]

Tom,

Obviously the giraffe swallowed a couple of siderites before it was demised 
by the Chixculob (or alike) tsumani.
This exotic example therefore is to learn us one more feature:  some 65 MY 
ago (and perhaps still now ?), giraffes did not digest very readily 
siderites....A valuable observation for Science...

Cheers,

Zelimir
