Howdy Pekka, List:
Here's what I find disturbing about the photo of  DiIulio and Starr holding 
the (formerly) pristine meteorite samples: as scientists and directors of 
the UNT planetarium and astronomy lab, don't these guys know that you should 
not handle a fresh fall with your bare hands.  Use forceps like they do in 
Antarctica.   Even amateurs like myself know this.  Also the formerly pecan 
size meteorites are now upgraded to walnut size!
