Hi All,
I respectfully suggest these are not meteorites but rather a
carefully contrived scheme with three suspect IDs:
'little-old-ladies-from-pasadena' from HESPERIA, CA
'dr.moe52' from HESPERIA, CA
'dr.gh' from LAS VEGAS

Too many similarities in the auctions. Highly suspect identities.
Beware!

Best,
ken

A 170 gram individual and some questionable smaller pieces. You fellows are missing out by not getting down to Snyder Hill in Tucson. Only one hunter there last weekend. Lonely.

The archives will show that I posted my first Cat Mountain 001 pictures to Gary, Adam, Greg and others asking for help in ID before this broad ever came to town.
