[meteorite-list] BL meteorite NWA1685 Achondrite clasts?

[tett]

List,

As I have done in the past, I forgot how crappy geocities is.  Not many can 
look at my pictures before my bandwidth is exceeded.

I have reposted my pics on a photosite.  The one that looks like a slice of 
bread is the new 100 gram slice.

Cheers,

Mike
