Hello Matt Morgan and Mike Jensen - and List,
Thanks for the great links to the photos. It seems to be a fine specimen.
I agree with CharlyV's comments on handling meteorites with gloves, namely
when it comes to a very fresh fall. Good, successful hunting there, to those
envolved in more fragment recovery.
