Islamic sounds like a eucrite meteorite. Morocco (a country) and Africa (a continent) do have a lot of Muslims. T= his does not mean they are all radical Muslims. To suggest that since me= teorites are purchased in a country or a continent were there are a few r= adicals by ratio as meaning that Moroccan meteorite money funds terrorist= sounds to me a bit far fetching. Morocco has been a trading place for a long time and will continue for a = long time in the future. Meteorites would not even rank in the top 10 of= the countries exports. =20 There is a lack of strewn field data on NWA meteorites, but lets be hones= t. I think we understand now the way meteorites break up and the many ra= re meteorites, planetary and otherwise, the Moroccan meteorite market has= provided, out weigh any lack of geological information. Sure I like to = collect those GPS coordinates also, but let us be honest. Only a handful= of coordinates provided in any meteorite catalog would really lead you t= o the place of find or fall. =20 If one was collecting NWA meteorite one would surely get several pairs in= their collection. But would one not get the same if collecting the DAG = #'d meteorites you found? Would you mind telling us how many paired DAG = CO3 numbers have been assigned? =20 Multiple paired meteorites with different name and numbers can also be fo= und in the Roosevelt County, New Mexico meteorites, the Antarctica finds,= Australia, and in many other examples. Richard, your finds and documentation on the Libyan meteorites is inspira= tional, however, I find your annual attack on NWA meteorites lacking. Ki= nd of like a, "I have a better car then you" thing.
