[meteorite-list] News confirmed - NASA landed on VESTA !

[Jeff Kuyken]

My *guess* is that it is probably more stones of the Eucrite-IMB that has 
been floating around for the last couple of years or so which also tend to 
be small stones. There may be more than one type of Eucrite-IMB out there 
though. Maybe those who have had similar material classified could chime in 
but I would say it needs classification to be sure though.

Cheers,

Jeff
