[meteorite-list] Strange Rock Reports

[Gary Fujihara]

I think Greg was referring to Puerto Lapice, which fell in October  
2007 in Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, with a TKW of `500g,  
and was a eucrite.  The image that Sterling posted really does look  
like a eucrite with its glossy fusion crust (and the file name should  
give it away as well).  Mike Farmer's oriented stone looks like an  
(extra)ordinary chondrite.
