Shawn and List,

I have several specimens of both Nakhla (including a 2.1 gram example from the British Museum) and Dar al Gani 400. Neither resemble the Bonham offerings. Maybe those on List with more knowledge than I can identify what meteorites are depicted.

Regards to all,

>In NYC on May 17th 2011 Bohams is having a Natural History auction and there are some nice meteorites up for auction. However, I was viewing the LOTS and I noticed that a 5.6g Zagami slice does not look like a Zagami from what I have seen and what I have owned. Here is a link to that lot
>http://www.bonhams.com/eur/auction/19371/lot/3168/ take a look and see if you agree with me or not. Also, I noticed other LOTS where the images do not match up with what they are auctioning off.

>The matrix is darker then what I have seen. From what I can tell, it should be a neutral gray and white clasts.

>Now I am not sure if I am correct or incorrect but I am wondering if they have mixed up the images of the LOTS or I am blind. But at any rate, take a look and see what I mean by some of the LOTS.
