I just spoke with Dr Bunch, and the olivine diogenite is actually NWA 2029,
so Adam is correct, however, Adam knew that because Ted just told me that He
had already corrected that with Adam, not me.
So Adam could have saved alot of problems by simply stating this.
Thanks for not taking one second to simply say that Adam.
Mike Farmer
Problem solved.

Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA 2620
I double checked, NWA 2620 is definitely assigned to an H4 in our
collection. A mistake was made in regards to Mike's number. Also no
verbal
pairing assignments were made by Dr. Bunch in regards to NWA 1827 which
was
studied by Dr. Irving at the UW not NAU.
Hope this helps clear things up,
Adam

Adam, I guess, the thing that is hard to understand is that NWA 2620 will
be
published in the next bulletin is an Olivine Diogenite.
Now are you confused yet?
You seem so sure of it, yet I sent you proof that the same scientist gave
that name to my meteorite, seems to have geven you the same name, you
simply
ignored it.
I am trying to get to the root of an obvious error, you seem to say that
anyone else be damned, you are right and everyone else is wrong.
Let's work together here and find out where the mistake is.

This is my last comment for now on the subject. NWA 2620 will be
published
in the very next bulletin as an H4, Main Mass Hupe Collection. No ifs,
ands
or buts about it. Why is so hard to understand?
All the best,
Adam

Adam, that explains nothing other than the simple fact the it seems
that
a
scientist has assigned the same number to two different meteorites.

Adam, then explaine the email below, clearly a mistake has been
made,

Mike: below and attached are the classifications that I can do
for
now.
Have a
good trip.
