Dear Listees:

Darryl Pitt of the Macovich Collection is not able to post to the List
at the moment, and asked me to forward this for him, regarding
meteorites on offer in the current I.M. Chait/eBay auction.

Take a look at the excellent photos (by Darryl) even if you're not
bidding.


Sincerely,

Geoff N.
