[meteorite-list] Cool Fresh Chondrites and "Slick-n-Slide"

[Norm Lehrman]

Greg & all,

Nice specimens.

Just a minor side point:  the term is "slickensides"
for the striated, movement-polished surface itself, or
"slickensided" for a rock showing slickensides.  Your
version is a common, but erroneous, transliteration.

Cheers,
Norm
