True Ruben,
Steve Arnold did make an extraordinary trade offer for the Canyon Diablo
piece. One that I couldn't refuse.
He made it verbally over the phone and when I went to cancel the auction you
had already bought the piece. I think it sold in less than 20 minutes after
the auction started.
Hi Ruben,
You should know better to buy or trade with Bob! Another list member
had problems dealing with you know who.I would just leave a negative

Hello List, This is a piece that I thought was considered duel lithogy, but I was told by a pretty relible person that the dark part is an inclusion, maybe even a chondrule, or a "DI" Dark Inclusion. The first link is to a photo of the main mass cut in half. The second link shows multiple photos
This is just my opinion, but it seems to me that this simplycould be some kind of mix-up, and we shouldn't act too hastily. If intentional double-dealing were going on, it doesn't seem likely that the meteorite would quickly be posted as a "meteorite of the day" right out for everyone to see.
Question for all: How many chondrules does a meteorite have to have to be called a chondrite?At what point does anachondrite become a chondrite? How can you call a ureilite an achondrite when it has some chondrules in it? That question has bothered me for the last 30 years! Jim
