Fear not, Pete. I recovered the Tahoka from a farmer who found it hoeing.
If you search google, you'll find my field trip report on it.

It was submited to NAU via Ted Bunch along with many other of my meteorite
finds. However, several years have passed and the only meteorite that has
made the Met-Bul is Dumont that I submitted via UCLA.

So according to Ted Bunch, he submitted the paperwork to the system and
someone upstream of him has done nothing with it. I believe it is not just
me, ask Mike Farmer about this as well.

At this point, I consider the Ted Bunch submission channel systemically
broken. Not his fault, mind you. So I am at a quandary as to whether I
should re-submit all my finds again for the last 7 years and to whom I
should submit them too.

Any ideas what to do?

Does anybody have the skinny scoop on the
gillions of sales of the Texas Meteorite
Tahoka from Lynn County Texas?
There are almost always a Fleabay
auction for Tahoka, but it's conspicuous
absence from the Met-Bul gives me the Willies.
Is this a verboden meteorite per IMCA
guidelines???????
