> Edwin, indeed it was a scam. Sad, we all get scammed once in a while. I am happy to see the record set strait for all to see. The Giroldi brothers we pulling one hell of a scam for year selling Baygorria at the Tucson show, people kept trying to show me why they were different than Campo. Total sham. We must root out the scams in this business/collections and purge those who keep running cons.

For anyone who wishes to see the main mass of this iron meteorite for reference or comparison it was donated to Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory in Portland, Oregon. Yes it is called Baygorria but it is my belief that it is a Campo.
