Dear Bernd Pauli and all,


We wish you an agreeable stay to Bernd Pauli in our beautiful country,
effectively the mount is a wonderful universally reputed  site. With
regard of L'aigle, many Frenchs collectors have gone on the area of fall
with the report of Jean Baptiste  Biot ( see in Meteoritics vol 31,
Number 5, sept 96, page 573 for the old map of L'aigle
fall )and a modern map. For the moment nobody has found  !!
Several explanations to that, unfortunately this region of France is not
( for meteorites but happily for residents and cultures ) a desert, in
fact it is certainly one of the most humid area in France and the 
surviving of a meteorite of this type in such conditions is probably
brief ( then  after  two   centuries ! )  an other is the fact that it is
a very cultured region and fields are full wastes of ancient manufacture
what forbidden using a metal detector ( without speaking the innumerable
shell and pomegranate fragments !! ). And sometimes, cultivators are very
discontented to see persons to walk in their cultures, it is as well as a
friend collector found not a meteorite but it nose to nose with a
cultivator flourishing a gun!! As for ask residents  of the regions if
they have, in a drawer, an inherited pebbles of their ancestor, that has
already been practiced also without success.


 Then if you have a success at L'Aigle, you will have the first but why
not !


		Meteoritiquement Votre,


			Marc, Luc & Jim Labenne.
