Yes, that is how it works.

If Lovina is not a meteorite, then I would suggest that it remain in
the Bulletin with a write-up, but should be labeled a
"pseudo-meteorite" like Shirokovsky.

Meteorites can be discredited. We shall have to see about this one.

Man, I knew that thing was too weird to be a meteorite. I wonder if
the the MetBull will take it off their list or will they leave it,
like they're doing with the Al Haggounia 001 aubrite kerfuffel.

Greetings:
I just received a preliminary abstract on Lovina from Kuni Nishiizumi
of UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory. Kuni, the abstract's lead
author, concluded it is unlikely Lovina is a meteorite. The markers
analyzed were beryllium and chlorine concentrations and the paucity of
cosmogenic radionuclides (only Gibeon and Nantan show less). One more
round of tests will occur and further conclusions will be drawn from
the same. The abstract entitled "Lovina: is this a Meteorite?" will
appear in the MAPS volume associated with the 74th Annual Meteoritical
Society Meeting this coming August.
It has been suggested by some diehards that the bubbling evident in
the Lovina mass could have been the result of smelting, and that the
lack of cosmogenic radiation could be explained by Lovina having been
near the center of a much larger mass---as we know Lovina originated
from at least a somewhat larger mass for the ziggurat structures to
have formed. However, in the spirit of embracing the most likely of
explanations, it seems compelling to conclude that the most likely
explanation for an expanding host of anomalies is Lovina's terrestrial
origin.
Accordingly, I've decided to no longer offer Lovina as a meteorite and
have asked my webmaster to take down references to the same on
Macovich.com at her earliest possible convenience.
All best / Darryl
