Hello Frank and List,

Just back from a very delightful, luke-warm summer night in Southern
Germany. I was standing in my garden, watching an almost full Moon,
brilliant Mars, and stars galore down to the horizon (which is a rare
spectacle in suburban, polluted areas like mine) ... and a good German
beer :-) Nighttime temperatures here about 65°F and daytime rising to
about 95° F and higher.

The results of my database query are rather "meager" - All I can offer
before I go to bed is a shock stage S4 for the Richfield LL3.7 chondrite
which is said to have LL5 chondrite clasts :-(

But as there are more than 400 (!) other list members,
I am sure someone else can contribute a little bit more!

P.S.: Oh Boy (and Girl :-), I wish I had some more bucks to buy some
or all of those "Bessey c h u n k s". The one on the scales with those
beautiful regmaglypts - what a blockbuster, what a whopper!

Best wishes,
Good night,

Bernd
