Hmmmm... Is it possible to have a meteorite fall where some of the stones
have absolutely no chondrites, yet some of the stones are "chock-full of
them"? This sounds very fishy, especially after seeing the crater/pit
pictures. Maybe Michael Farmer and a couple others in Tucson should compare
their new Moroccan meteorites to see if our community is being sold
completely different meteorites (but under the same name). Don't get me
wrong, I'm not saying that Michael, Svend, Bernd, Steve #2 or the other
purchasers are the problem here.

Regards,

Bob

Look, I just held a 3 kilo individual, broken into pieces, but fit back
together. It looks to me and others here at the show like an H3. Plenty of
chondrules actually, I am not sure why you guys can't see chondrules, the
meteorite is chock-full of them. Very nice stone, certainly not an H5 or 6,
could be H3 or 4 would be my guess, leaning toward 3.

It is a nice meteorite, but it sure looks like a pile of it is in Tucson
right now.

By the way, Room 184 at the Inn Suites is OPEN! Moritz Karl, Eric Olsen, Jim
Strope and myself are up and running. The weather is fine, and it looks like
meteorites are a lot sparser this year than ever before.
Look forward to seeing all who are coming.
