there was an oral session on "New Martian Meteorites", and the lead paper
described Tissint (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2012/pdf/2510.pdf). but
that's it re: Tissint.

elsewhere, I chased down a couple of papers alluding to specific comets capable
of dropping meteorites, but the modeling is (IMHO) incomplete.

so you'll just have to settle for LPSC results having to do with planets! ;-)
