Hi All,

Dr. Jenniskens is involved in the recovery. You may recall him from
the Sutter's Mill fall.

I expect the official classification will be expedited in this case -
a fresh Howardite fall. We don't get these very often. Definitely not
another boring OC and the stones are gorgeous. :)

Best regards and happy huntings,

MikeG
