Hans acquired it and thought that it was another Campo silicate = nodule. He sent a fragment to Russia to be looked at.=20 Later he brought it to the Denver show last September. He showed me and = I knew it was a new meteorite, he was happy, I was happy, and I bought = it and showed everyone at Denver. Since Serge in Moscow was already = having it analyzed, I gave him a slice off of it for the museum there, = and Vernadsky completed the analysis and submitted the data to the = Meteoritical Society. I never saw the data they submitted until the = bulletin was published last week. It seems that there is simply a table = form, not a full story like many meteorites. In that table, I am listed = as the finder. I never noticed that, just thinking that I was listed as = the owner, which I am.=20 I need Dr Grossman to clear this up, and let us know what was submitted = to the Society.
