your L3.8 will be properly classified?

this is to confirm that the L3.8 M. Franco is selling under the unofficial

Hi Eric and List,
Maybe instead of a dip at 10-100 grams the chart is showing an
overabundance in the 100-1000 gram range. That would also
drive the median mass higher. If you plot the L chondrites
by either location or recovery year is there one year or
location that skews the numbers.

I solved the dip mystery in the Antarctic data -- my plot only

75% of all newbie questions, asked of the list, get blown off. But talk about

Another thing that everyone I'm sure has noticed are ridiculous prices that
