Thank you for your offer of material.
If you had any real involvement in true meteorites you would know that there
are a variety of technical protocols they have to undergo for formal
identification and cataloging - a process that takes a couple of years
sometimes.

There is nothing there to see, these are tiny pieces
of huge stones. Of course there is not much to see in

Kalhari 008, at least, appears to contain solar-wind gases. The

Fe/Mn), and chemical compositions are consistent with lunar
