Looks as if Rob, the same person who offered the prize, got the correct
guess on this one because it was certainly the best and closest. So, Rob,
enjoy your nice new slice of this too cool meteorite! Rob, when I said I'd
offer a few dollars to cover the costs of shipping. Please send me the bill
to send the meteorite to the winner. First class all the way. ;)
So, what do you say everyone? Shall we do this again the next time there's
a new fall or find? I know I enjoyed it!
Best wishes,

Hi All,

I guess with Alan Hupe's post, this contest is now academic.
Too bad that there was already a known classification (which
would taint the outcome of a serious contest). But it was
all in good fun! Congrats to Rob and Herbert (and anyone else
who ~wanted~ to take LL6, but couldn't). Since there was so
much interest, we should try it again with the next fall
(preferably prior to classification!) Or even the next
interesting new find...

Here's my final tally of the guesses for posterity. (How
do we decide who was the furthest off? ;-)) --Rob M.

------------------------------------------------------------------
LL6, brecciated Rob Elliott
Diogenite Bernd Pauli (guess later rescinded)
L6, brecciated Martin Horejsi
LL6 (highly recrystallized) Herbert Raab *
L5 Rhett Bourland
LL4-6 Rob Matson
L/LL6 Frank Cressy
L5, brecciated Mike Tettenborn
Polymict eucrite Dave Schultz
Iron IIAB Dave Radosevich (sandbagging ;-))
Hematite nodule Jeannie (also sandbagging)
EL6 Tracy Latimer
L4 Jason Phillips
L6, brecciated, w/shock veins Steve Schoner **
Howardite Ken Newton
L5-6 Jeff K
H5-6 Anne Black
LL6 Allen Shaw *
H4 Andre Bordeleau
LL5 Phil Morgan (sent 8:53pm PST) ***
LL5 Dave Harris (sent 11:23pm PST) ***
LL4 Julien Courtois
LL6/7 Christian Anger
LL6, S4, W0, Fa 31 +/- 1 Adam Hupe (monomict microbreccia) !!
EL5 Steve Witt
Lunar Jake Delgaudio (also sandbagging)
Aubrite Razvan Andrei
LL7 Simon de Boer
Concrete w/asphalt inclusions Walter Branch (fellow sandbagger)

------------------------------------------------------------------

* LL6 already taken
** L6 breccia already taken
*** While Phil sent his guess first, it didn't appear on the list until
    after Dave sent his, so both should get credit
!! I was going to give credit for specificity until I found out it
    wasn't a "guess" ;-)
