Hello Barry, I'm Richard Montgomery, listee. The debate is surrounding a
detailed level of analysis investigating "pairing" of different finds
(both pointing to a possible common origin.) The necessary common
denominator is exact O-isotope data for any meteorite in question; this
detailed analysis is not available to all labs, hence lesser
prognostications prevail in the debate.
Your question is worthy, that yes, on a cursory front, it is about money.
This is a shame, basically, since $$$ doesn't describe meteorites.
On a scientific front, the most important, it is about not muddying the
waters and allowing true analysis (that being the current most advanced of
our time) to prevail and differentiate between the less-analyzed and the
current more anaylized, NWA5400 being the focus, along with some other
suspected similar meteorites.
NWA5400 has been published with Oxygen isotope analysis suggesting
(possibly confirming with our best technology) an earth-origin for its
re-appearing as a meteorite, while pending NWA6292 isotpoe-analysis is yet
to be accomplished. NWA5363 seems to floating around in cyber space as I
write this.
My advice is to not confuse $$$ with science!

If someone could please explain this argument to me offlist or on....I
would be grateful as a buyer. I have noticed the same people jumping
in on this argument as though reading until this comes up. I can't
figure it out except I know money is involved.

Interesting Anne.
And sad.
I was under the impression that he was sent samples of NWA 5363 over two
months ago. At least that is what I was assured in a private email by
another party.
I was hoping to see a satisfactory resolution to this controversy some
time soon, but I guess it isn't to be. Ah well. It must have gotten lost
in the mail.

Right.
We all need to be patient, and let the experts do their
work.
However, last time I talked to Tony Irving, he still did
not have a
specimen of NWA 5363.
So if anyone of you would be willing to help be providing a
piece of it it
certainly would be very nice. It does not need to be a big
fragment, a few
grams would probably do.
And if you do have some NWA 5363, please contact me off
List.
Thank you.
