[meteorite-list] DOCUMENTED Human strikes - Listeners Correct Auctioneer About Meteorite History

[Darryl Pitt]

Add Thailand's Chiang Khan to the list.  A fisherman was struck as  
reported in the original abstract.

By the way, an absolutely superlative Chiang Khan specimen is being  
offered in this weekend's auction at Heritage.  It's so  
extraordinarily well oriented it looks like an australite (flanged  
button tektite) without the flange.

Check this out....
