A check of ASU's 1985 catalog turned up these additional meteorites thought
to be part of the Canyon Diablo.

Fossil Springs, AZ. ASU #34fs. 4928g. It is listed at the beginning of
all the Canyon Diablo specimens (#34) No other information given.

Fair Oaks, AZ. ASU #722- 0.78kg. Fair Oaks is considered to be a fragment
of Canyon Diablo by V.F. Bushwald, but is listed separately here.

Oildale, CA, ASU #900 - 0.36kg. V.F. Bushwald considers Oildale to be a
transported fragment of Canyon Diablo.

Palisades Park, TX, ASU #520.1x - 0.12kg. Palisades Park is considered by
V.F. Bushwald to be a transported fragment of Canyon Diablo which has been
exposed to impact heating stage VI.

Rifle, CO. ASU #528.1x - 102.7kg. Rifle is considered to be a transported
fragment of Canyon Diablo by V.F. Bushwald. It is listed here separately
because of its many citations in the literature. Note: Corrspondence
between R.S Clarke Jr., V.F.Bushwald and J.T.Wasson (November 1994, copies
in Min. Dept. NHM, London) conclude that Rifle is most likely to be a
separate individual from Canyon Diablo. (p. 427 Fifth Edition Catalog of
Meteorites)

Wickenburg (iron), AZ. ASU#455.1x - 0.25kg. V.F.Bushwald considers the
Wickenburg iron to be a fragment of Canyon Diablo.
