[meteorite-list] Re: Iimpact Crater -- Nicaragua, Stefan Brandes

[Stefan Brandes]

Hi Sterling, Leo, List,

I actualy read Leo´s letter in "Sterne und Weltraum" in May 2006
and was just curious if anybody on the list knew of it.

I have never heard of it before and just wanted to know more about this 
possible crater.

I´m sorry if there was any misunderstanding!

Greetings from Austria
Stefan
