Adam, why does your piece have rust spots all over
the cut face if you cut in alcohol?

Dear List Members,
After cutting up several specimens of this new
fall it appears it may have too much metal to be classified as an LL although
the Fa number appears to fall into the LL range. Here is a picture below
showing a polymict breccia texture.
Mark mentioned finding glass globules attached to the crust of his
fragment. After hearing this we examined over two dozen specimens and
found the same thing on about half of them. I did not observe dumbbell
or patty shapes on any of them. We are curious if anybody may have found
these shapes. We are receiving a final shipment from Park Forest
tomorrow and will be able to figure out a very decent price if anybody is
interested. We will also put up several expertly prepared slices for
consideration at this yet to be determined low price, less than what people
are paying in the field now!
All the best,
Adam Hupe
