[MexicoDoug]

Other possible locality names for Thika: Kilimambogo, Yatta, Kakuzi, 
Kangundo

>From the University of Nairobi scientific note:

"He says already scientists have so far concluded that it has 
components typical to those of other rocks on the earth's surface."

Well - you might not think much of this comment, but you'd think if 
chondrules were evident it might be mentioned.  Remembering, of course, 
that rocks on Earth's surface are essentially all achondrites as long 
as your aren't near meteorite collections ...

PS there was a rumor going around that this was going to be as 
plentiful as Gao !  But never heard much about that either ;-(  I 
didn't see much besides the 11 pound meteorite that landed in the 
Kiumwiri cornfield.
