Hi Jason,

I looked at your link. I think you need to revise it since it contains
false information about the cutting of Black Beauty (NWA 7034) -- at
least if you are referring to the 320 g main mass that is at the IOM?
The cutting was done with distilled water -- NOT ethylene glycol
(antifreeze). Also, stating in your link that our samples were "messed
with" seems to be a rather unusual way to describe cutting with a fine
diamond wire.

If you want to know anything specific about Black Beauty, I would be
happy to talk to you about it and how to identify it in hand sample
and nature of the reduced carbon -- my team has been studying this
meteorite with numerous lab techniques since August 2011.

PS: the Science Article print version will be on newsstands Feb. 15.
