Linton writes:
I don’t know if I’ve got a single drop of Irish blood in me, but I’m always happy to help celebrate St. Paddy’s Day. In lieu of wearing green, I’ll send along the green meteorite, Tatahouine. This 4.88g fragment is my share of the Tunisian diogenite , which fell in 1931. I’ll raise a pint of Guinness to it a bit later. Cheers!
