Hullo again,
Just a meteoritic memory that stays with me - I had seen meteorites at the
Natural History museum in London village - we used to go often - and would
sit astride the 1/2 ton "Otumba" Campo that is still there. When I was in
primary school, say aged about 8, I remember very clearly a lad bringing in
what he claimed was a meteorite (he had a spacy name too...."Simon Saturn").
I remember it clearly as a roughly triangular lump about an inch across and
being very heavy (dense) and light and dark brownish - I was fascinated and
30 odd years later I am sure it was a Canyon Diablo - the image remained so
clear to me over the intervening decades....
Nice how we can recall...
