[Rob McCafferty]

Fascinating piece of info Martin

Even as I clicked "send" on my last post I had a
nagging thought that there really ought to be tiny
little fragments of all the types in the regolith
somewhere. I know NWA3136 is meant to have microscopic
bits of iron in it. Is this from meteorite impact does
anyone know?
