Hello Panel Group :-) Randy, I absolutely concur ... at least, so far. > Who is to say what he will do with > this one after the next 100 kg come out.

But now for the counterbalance: 1) An absolutely fresh, new fall 2) Awesome brecciation 3) Pitch black, velvety fusion crust 4) Absolutely no weathering traces 5) A potential regolith breccia 6) Dark, carbonaceous (?) inclusions (or is it the metal flakes?) 7) Already a "celebrity" like Peekskill (!) And now my very personal, subjective assessment: 1) I love meteorites 2) I love breccias 3) I fall for this exquisite contrast fresh fusion crust/pristine matrix As for the bet: After having seen the Hupés Bensour specimens and after having seen the fusion crust on Dean's specimens, I'll no longer bet it is a diogenite, of course, and I wrote just that to Jacques Vincent *before* this bet was initiated but I can't help loving this messenger from out there whatever it should turn out to be - it is a meteorite and as such, it hasn't got to do anything with our personal finances ...
