[Rockhounds] re Allende meteorite

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

You might want to start with the Wikipedia article
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allende_meteorite

and then move on to recent research finding exotic components like 
graphite whiskers

before looking at the more conventional inclusions

The Allende is probably the most studied meteorite ever. If you are not 
careful your label could become a bookshelf full of literature.
