Hello Greg,

Were they all Canyon Diablos? I have heard of that place for years. I have
had students of mine who have stopped there and told me about it, and I
wondered how they seem to always have a good supply of freshly dug up Canyon
Diablos considering that hunting is illegal. I wondered whether some crater
staff may be quietly involved in a commercial venture.

I found a meteorite store.

On Hwy 40 in Arizona near Winslow. It was where I bought my first meteorite;
a 23 gram Canyon Diablo. It was back in 1997. I was driving to CA and saw a
big "Meteorites" sign, so I pulled in and she showed me hundreds of
meteorites.
