Hi List,
Robert Ward and I had preferred that Karl Aston make this announcement to
the meteorite list, but Karl is evidently having trouble making his post.
Rather than rewriting the same message, I've just copied Karl's intended
note below and am sending on behalf of the group...
All the best,

<<Dear List,

I am pleased to introduce the Conception Junction pallasite to the meteorite
community.

Robert Ward, Dave Gheesling and I have been working on this project, in
conjunction with Dr. Randy Korotev and Dr. John Wasson, for almost two years
now, and it is a pleasure to present this beautiful pallasite to the
meteorite community here on the meteorite list.

Information about the Conception Junction pallasite, available specimens,
and its monograph (authored by Dave with contributions from Dr. Wasson), can
be found here:

www.conceptionjunctionpallasite.com

Limited material will be available to the private collector community, as we
are holding specimens in reserve for institutional placement.

My personal website, www.olderthandirtmeteorites.com, is in the early stages
of development, but it will contain more information about this new Missouri
(my home state!) meteorite soon.

Warm regards,

Karl Aston>>
