Hi Bernd, Congratulations on your wonderful new specimen. Not only are urelites an exciting and rare achondrite, but you got it for only $14 a gram! I always wished that ureilites had been named after Harold Urey instead of their type specimen. I think Urey should be honored with meteorite as odd as the ureilite given his contributions to the field, and especially to his graduate students who, while not following Urey's own train of thought, took meteorite science to the next (and necessary) level.
