Hello All

    This does sound like the meteorite I call Hadejia. It is currently
being classified by Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New
Mexico. Because the Met Soc has not used small villages (apparently with
variable spellings) as names, I have used the name Hadejia. Some
information, photos, and a link to the newspaper article can be found at
http://www.meteoritemarket.com/HDJ.htm

    Regards,

    Eric Twelker
