Hello Folks,

Here is an interesting one - an NWA meteorite from the Mohave Desert!

A visit to Bonham's website confirmed that the name should read NWA 4857.
Even then I am a little confused - the stone being auction is described as
whole and fusion crusted, with a mass of 3.64g, but the MetSoc database
describes NWA 4857 as a single stone of 24g. Something doesn't add up.


Regards, Kieron
