Yes Martin, that is a gorgous piece with a beautiful rolled back lip. It is striking just how few iron falls there actually are. There must be thousands of chondritic falls over the same time span. It just goes to show that the rare desert irons that are coming out now reflect hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation. Once these have been picked clean we'll have a long time to wait for an equally rich hunting environment ;-)
