And regarding Lafayette, there is no way that that a
meteorite of such "sheer perfection" could have sat on
Indania wet ground for 13,000 years.

Its physical form indicates that it was picked up
shortly after, or as the story of its find indicates,
seconds after it fell-- not at Nakhla, but in Indiana.

Nininger believed this, and the tests show that this
"sheer perfect" meteorite is distinct from Nakhla.
