Hello Bill,
Can you show us a picture of the interior of your new meteorite? Seems
like I saw a picture of a part slice a while back but can't remember where
to find it.

Also, is there a possibility that you will be offer slices of this new
Arizona chondrite? I know that several of us that specialize in Arizona
meteorites would like to own one.

Congratulations again on your new find. I'm thinking it might be worth the
price just to get the proposed name so I can narrow down wher to hunt for
more;-)

Best,
John Gwilliam
