Linda,
Thank you for your prompt response. Please take a look at the pdf
file from the Mars Meteoritic Compendium 2003 regarding the Zagami
meteorite. This file is both in the sell2all and NASA web pages,
http://www.sell2all.com/mars/index1.htm and
http://www-curator.jsc.nasa.gov/curator/antmet/mmc/zagami.pdf. If you
read to the end of the article there you can find all about the age of
this meteorite and it is not 1.3 billion years. This is a NASA document
and it is in your web page, in the page you adversise the sell of this
meteorite. So how is it that you advertise it as 1.3 billion years, yet
qoute a NASA document in which the age is almost ten times less?
