Thanks Larry! I think my ratio of ordinary chondrite meteorites to rare one's is pretty bad. I have exactly 1 rare meteorite (My new meso) to many, many OC finds. UofA just finished classifying 4-5 of my finds in addition to the mesosiderite. They were just a few (out of over a hundred) that I have found that I thought had the BEST chance of being special or rare....they weren't!
Truthfully, both Sonny (CM1 and R) and Marvin Kilgore (3-4 rare ones) have much better records. However, I am not upset and am glad to have finally found an achondrite in the USA!
