The mystery of what happened to all of the reported Chassigny find is a perennial discussion topic. One that I suspect will go on for many years.
I theorize that some of it was destroyed in analysis and that the remainder is tucked away in some drawer of a major institution(s); forgotten. At the price that Chassigny currently brings one would suspect that the holder of a couple of kilos of the meteorite would be tempted to part with at least some of it.
If I had a couple of kilos of the stuff you can rest assured that I would soon be retiring.
Ya'll (I can say that now as I have relocated to Savannah, GA) have a great evening.
Best Regards,
Paul

When Chassigny fell, it was estimated that approx 4
kg's were recovered, and only about 800 grams is
accounted for now. Any thought's or theories on what
happened to the other 3.2 kg's? Any chance on more
turning up?
