Hi Jeff et al.,

I think the prettiest Murchison I have ever seen belongs to Al Lang. He was kind enough to let me pick it up and examine it up close. It's perfectly oriented and complete. Here's the picture on Al's site:

Hi all,

On this day 40 years ago in 1969, one of the most famous meteorites fell to
Earth in a spectacular fashion. It was the beautiful Murchison CM2 meteorite
which has been the subject of much scientific interest over the last four
decades. It's this meteorite which sparked much interest in the contained
amino acids and the burgeoning theories of meteorites seeding life on Earth.

Happy Birthday Murchison.

P.S. A friend of mine was in Murchison today and no one had any idea it was
the 40th Anniversary even though there was a big celebration for the 30th!
