Greetings Listees!

My previous contest was too easy - I received a correct answer in less
than 30 minutes. And I received several guesses that correctly named
1 or 2 of the 3 meteorites. So, I thought I would give everyone
another chance to win a prize.

Now I am going to dig deep down into the records of obscure
meteorites. These are going to be simple questions with no tricks,
but they are going to be more difficult to answer.

Question #1 - what H4 chondrite was accidentally found while searching
for Libyan Desert Glass?

Question #2 - This meteorite is one of the rarest types and hails from
a nation with only a handful of meteorite finds/falls. It was
considered similar to an unusual Australian meteorite. Name this
meteorite.

Question #3 - Which tiny L6 chondrite has a connection with one of
the great personalities of meteoritics? If not for this connection,
this very small and obscure OC would be without trivia value.

Bonus Question - This "stubborn" meteorite also has a connection to
one of the great minds of meteoritics. What meteorite is it?

The first person to correct answer all 3 questions gets a rare earth
magnet and meteorite. Answer the Bonus Question, and I will double
the prize!

Good luck!
