To anyone interested, From time to time there is a couple of us who post messages here concerning meteorites. Haven't seen any messages here as late so thought I would post one. Doug, you have made mention of some meteorites being from Venus. Due to the thick atmosphere, simular gravity to Earth and being closer to the Sun therefore having to increase energy to go further out in the solar system, I have alway stated it would be very improbable for such an animal to exist. Guess what, I have found out that the ureilites are thought to be of a Venus origion although there is not anywhere near as compelling evidence as the Mars material which is more than likely a sure thing. Thought this would be of interest to you. Anyone that is interest in meteorites please feel free to reply to this message even though it is not related. I or Joseph Murakami will no doubt be around to give some feed back. Perhaps there is someone out there that has an extensive collection who would like to share ideas here with us. We are looking for a meteorite group where we can all post messages on the subject. If we generate enough messages maybe they will give us our own area <G>. Later! –AL
