[meteorite-list] Holy Grail of meteorites

[Gerald Flaherty]

Absolutely Cool!!!!!! As you might assume, I'm rather new to meteoritics and 
newer still to the List.
For the first time ever I had an (what I thought at the time) incredible 
thought. Suppose, just suppose that on some future Lunar, Planetary or 
Jovian or Saturn satallite exploration, we earthlings stumble upon an Earth 
Rock catapulted off the planet by some cataclysmic impact, perhaps "Devil's 
Tail" or a Permian event!
All great Ideas are implanted in our unconscious, perhaps the list, or God, 
who knows? But it's comforting to know I'm not alone in the wonderful world 
engendered by Rocks that fall from the Sky. I'm glad I live today and not 
100 years ago when such ideas were thought to be fanciful. Thank you Bill, 
and thanks to the List. Jerry
