Personally I am delighted that Adam and Greg were willing and able to get it tested quickly. Doing it at their own expenses is just frosting on the cake. I know the odds of these pieces being from the Chixculub meteorite are practically nil, but every potential material deserves to be tested. So I would like to publically thank Adam and Greg, and I will be curious to see the results of the tests. Anne M. Black www.
