Hi Listees!

There is no winner yet for the last trivia contest. I received
several replies and some correctly guessed one of the four meteorites.
 So, here are some clues :

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

#1 is an Egyptian meteorite

> 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.

#2 is a type 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.

#3 is a Nininger find

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

#4 is also a Nininger find

Good luck!
