[meteorite-list] GREAT METEORITE HUNTERS

[michel FRANCO]

I seems that you have all forgotten Peary who brought back the Tent (
Cape York ), the biggest individual ( more than 30 metric TONS) ever
moved by humans. 
A visit at the meteorite room in the National Museum of Natural History,
just by Central Park, NY, NY is highly recommanded.

My 2 cents

Michel

PS: I dream to find a similar one, somewhere...if anyone has a clue
where to prospect, please share it with me, off list, other wise I will
have to charter a 380!
