Thanks Larry!

I think my ratio of ordinary chondrite meteorites to rare one's is
pretty bad. I have exactly 1 rare meteorite (My new meso) to many,
many OC finds. UofA just finished classifying 4-5 of my finds in
addition to the mesosiderite. They were just a few (out of over a
hundred) that I have found that I thought had the BEST chance of being
special or rare....they weren't!

Truthfully, both Sonny (CM1 and R) and Marvin Kilgore (3-4 rare ones)
have much better records.

However, I am not upset and am glad to have finally found an
achondrite in the USA!
