One that I suspect will go on for many years. I theorize that some of it was destroyed in analysis and that the remainder is tucked away in some drawer of a major institution(s); forgotten. At the price that Chassigny currently brings one would suspect that the holder of a couple of kilos of the meteorite would be tempted to part with at least some of it. If I had a couple of kilos of the stuff you can rest assured that I would soon be retiring. Ya'll (I can say that now as I have relocated to Savannah, GA) have a great evening.
