Hello,

A week ago, some information was provided about the collection history of a
meteorite specimen based upon a label that came with the meteorite. It
sparked my interest because I have a specimen with a similar card, as well
as three more cards that came with the same specimen. I put pictures of the
cards on the Net in the hopes of gaining more information and possibly a
translation of the text on some of the cards. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Here is the URL:

Cheers and thanks,

Martin
