> Hello Everyone,
>
> As the subject line indicates, I would like to know what the scientists on
> the list think about the idea that the Angrites parent planet is the planet
> Mercury. I would really like to know their opinion. Yes. No. Maybe?
>
> And why or why not? Characteristics of magnetism, oxygen isotopic ratios,
> density, chemical composition? What have you.
>
> What are the data to support your conclusion?
>
> I would very much like to hear from scientists who have actually handled
> this material. Not non-scientists (such as myself), scientist wannabes,
> scientists spokespeople, name droppers, etc. Just scientists.

> Thanks,
