Buckleboo, Kaidun, Bernd, Listees,

The 2001 presentation for Bernd's Kaidun reference (Zolensky and Ivanov,
MAPS 36-9, 2001, A233) is available as a single page online with a large
color photo of the thin section and each of those clasts labeled above.
"Smorgasbord of clasts" , see for yourself! ... other suggestion might come
to mind, "zoo" or "Who dropped the type meteorite collection?" Thanks Bernd
& David for sharing a favorite with us.
