Hi Shawn, Chris and all,

Buried beneath this recent Mifflin mess was Shawn's latest Pop Quiz and question from Chris S.concerning the first ANSMET meteorite. I, also, thought Mount Baldr was the first. Was this a trick question? Seems there were more than one who said ALH 76001, so I'm a bit confused.
 
Thanks to Shawn for the time he makes for these fun quizzes.:)
