I'll be sure to let the PHD level Geochemist with decades worth of experience classifying meteorites know that...

Really I'm only asking if anyone recognizes it from a recent sale. The lab was given a specific story and like diligent scientists they are trying to disprove it.

If anyone has seen it for sale recently please let me know.
Thank you,
John
