Hi Matt, Mike, Anne and all,

No chance to attend the Denver show, just read stuff from list members. It seems that large, new meteorite finds are most favored nowdays. Okay, i offer such info from China to you guys,

1.) New Iron, one piece, found in 2001, weight = 530 kg or so;
2.) New pallasite, one piece, found in 2006, weight = not be weighted exactly as of today because it is too huge to be weighted. Six strong guys can move it a little only, together.

I can not afford to purchase any piece of the two. Maybe, you can.

Best wishes, Ma Lan
