Jason,
I have asked, many times. Mr Wasson has not done me
the courtesy of an answer. He was fast on the email
though, when I bought the meteorite, demanding a ~500
gram sample since UCLA had tried to buy the meteorite
for years before I bought it. There was one problem
though, they did not pay the owner of the meteorite.
The seller got tired of waiting for UCLA to actually
write a check after some years, and sold it to me.
This angered John Wasson and he obviously, refuses to
finish the classification because of that, even after
I sent him and endcut of more than 500 grams for free.
There is little I can do, so perhaps you could ask
about it.
