Folks:
I need to do a bit of fact checking. Mike Miller's largest recovery
at West is the ____th largest complete specimen found? Where does it
rank?
Also, several of you inquired why the Type 3 was pulled from the Chait
sale. At the time it was entered into the sale, an initial
investigation had shown it could be mildly exotic. Shortly
thereafter, it was determined that the meteorite is extremely exotic---
and far beyond what could have been imagined. It was then pulled
pending more work.
d,
