Hi All, Mike asked the status of Amgala. Amgala (Provisional Working Name) is still under study at NAU. There are several reasons for the delay. One, NAU has a huge cue. Two, it is a very complex meteorite. Three, nine months is not that long to wait when we still have material from over three years ago still not completed. I will check the status Monday and give updates if there are any.
