Alan, With all due respect are you then saying you have doubts about "black Beauty" as well? And what are your thought on the Moon being created by an impact with earth? Would that not have caused quite a shock to moon rocks as well? Just curious. Thanks Carl

Unfortunately for me at the time, we decided that any strong identification would rely on details of silicate chemistry that are tough to measure through ground-based remote sensing. But we were certain that such bodies must exist.
