Well, we have tens of thousands of Gao stones, and w
dont cut them or classify all of them! Same with
Canyon Diablo.
If it is from the same fall, why woudl you need each
stone classified? Now, just because a Moroccan tells
you this is a moon rock and is the same one as Greg
Hupe bought, that does not mean that it is so. I wish
I had a dollar for every piece of NWA 482 that
supposedly appeared after we got that one, yet none
were ever even close to being the same meteorite.
