"As such, your specimen has a double Huss and Monnig provenance and is a fine and extremely collectible historic specimen."
Thanks for your note Geoff. I have wondered about those blackened numbers for a while now. I meant Monnig rather then Nininger, but I did write Nininger on the second numbered specimen meaning to, and looking at it again, it is not a Nininger (American Meteorite Laboratory) specimen, but rather a Huss (American Meteorite Laboratory) specimen. Another side note: Dr. Elhman once mentioned to me once that Monnig continued to purchase the Dimmitt stones from the finders because he was afraid that if he turned down one stone, that word would get around he was no longer buying meteorites. I join Geoff in recommending a visit to the Monnig Gallery. I have been to just about every large meteorite display in the United States (and a couple outside) and I think the Monnig Gallery has one of the better displays and collections. Monnig would be proud. While Geoff didn't try to take any credit in his e-mail, the website features some photographs by Geoff that are well worth your time. http://www.monnigmuseum.tcu.edu Clear Skies, Mark ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
