Hello Bob and list, Bob wrote;

" one of our own List members
has already recovered several stones "

A previous post said;

"People are being urged to "turn over" finds to the scientific
community."

I want to know, do we have to? Why would the scientific community need all
the stones? Is it like the old woman meteorite where they cut of 600 or so
pounds to study?

Thanks, Tom
The proudest member of the IMCA 6168
