Yes Martin, that is a gorgous piece with a beautiful
rolled back lip. It is striking just how few iron
falls there actually are. There must be thousands of
chondritic falls over the same time span. It just goes
to show that the rare desert irons that are coming out
now reflect hundreds of thousands of years of
accumulation. Once these have been picked clean we'll
have a long time to wait for an equally rich hunting
environment ;-)

Cheers
