[meteorite-list] Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - July 16, 2006

[Peter Marmet]

Hi Darren,

many thanks for your e-mail!
Actually I know that Peter means stone (Pierre, the French Peter is  
still today exactly the same word for stone, isn't it Pierre- 
Marie?!))...but strangely
I have never thought about it. Another interesting coincidence(?) is,  
that the second half of my family name MarMET ist the first part of  
METeorites...
so there's nothing I can do about it...I HAVE to collect those ET's:-)!

Best regards,

Peter MARMET
