[meteorite-list] Fw: Fw: Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - July 18, 2007

[JKGwilliam]

Hello All,
I think you will all agree that it doesn't matter 
what language is used to describe this meteorite 
since it falls into the catagory of " one picture 
is worth a thousand words."  This is a fantastic 
meteorite and it will be exciting to see what the classification results are.

Best,

John Gwilliam
