Hi again, Thanks for the info about the SD museum meteorite display. I would like to go back there and record the specimens on film or with electrons.
Here is the Louisiana info. It's a short list of only two specimens. Cheers, Martin Atlanta 31�48' N, 92�45' W Winn County, Louisiana, USA Find 1938 Stone. ValidChondrite. Enstatite (EL6); S2.
