 fourteen-year-old son, is learning to use a SEM (Hitachi S-2400) at
 Nassau Community College on Long Island. He intends to take a look at
 meteorite specimens for suggestive (bacterial) forms in the range of
 5,000X-25,000X. Geoff Cintron has been kind enough to provide him with
 some specimens, but Erik has nothing more interesting than Allende and
 Cold Bokkoudd (?) to work with. >>

Hi Carlton,

  Sure, I'll donate a small piece of Murchison to further the cause.   The
name of the other CM2 that I gave you is Cold Bokveld.  Presumably named after
a place in South Africa, but who knows what "Bokveld" means in South African?
Maybe the finder froze his Bokveld off while recoving the meteorite!
 
Regards,
Geoff Cintron
