I demand a recount!

My find, in reality, did weigh more than 1.45kg. I didn't sift through
the sand and I left a bunch of fragments for the next person to come
along. (Call me crazy!) From what I heard, another~100 grams or so come
out of the dirt.

I'm gonna think of it as a tie!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi all,

Dr. Gibson's stone weighed 1.5 kg.? That what his article in
Meteoritics says.
(v. 5, no. 1, 1970, "Discovery of another Meteorite Specimen from the
1912
Holbrook, Arizona Fall Site").
Still beat you Larry, but not by much ;-)


Frank

measley 1.45 Kg.

Hi Greg,

I second Greg's nomination, and completely agree!? I just donated a
few small specimens to Dr. Everett K. Gibson (and NASA) for some
spectacular work they're in the midst of.

Some of you many not be aware that Dr. Everett K. Gibson is one of
Carleton Moore's graduate students and (as far as I know) has the
record for the second largest Holbrook find in the last 50 years - 3.5
kilos. Larry (Lucky Dog) Atkins has the largest!

Keep up the great work!
