[meteorite-list] To Answer Steve's Question

[Eduardo]

Answering both Steves at once.
The Nuevo Mercurio that "meteorite men" Steve mention is now in my 
collection.
But it's not 25g, it's a little under 8g. It has a hole about 2x1mm.
I also remember a "tricky" holed meteorite: some D'Orbigny 
slices/framgments had holes made when gas bubbles were exposed on thin 
slices or fragments. 
best regards
Eduardo
