Dr. Buono,
I have to agree that your plea for assistance is justified.
Thieves that stole a 6,000 kilo meteorite (13.2 tons) on April9/10 and
left a concrete replica are no ordinary thieves!
The Argentine police are probably no match for this type of criminal.

Wow, judge, juror, head of the Meteoritical Society, and God?
Who died and made you the head honcho? This is my meteorite, it was legally
aquired in the United States. Chaco or yourself have no claim to it.

Don't worry too much about the name. Heck, it might just as well have
been named Mike's Chondrite, which would be consistent with the NomCom's
acceptance of the name Joel's Iron from Chile.

Hello Again list, I am still confused about this line;
So is forbidden any people has a fragment of it.
Well then, a thin section, endcut, part slice or full slice is OK, just not
a fragment? Please keep this in mind when buying this meteorite!

Hi List,
On hindsight, it seems Joel's Iron was never submitted to the NomCom

Now comes Big Steve`s post about if there are any of
these meteorites out there for sale or trade???
Just a little friendly tease
Mike,
The Meteoritical Society is not an authority on geographic names. The
