I'm guessing his front garden. I see his history is selling cheap digital cameras. The same old shtick connecting WUSTL and Actlabs to his dirt.

[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Updates - 2 NWA's and a Nova, and a Question regarding Nomenclature
Greetings Bulletin Geeks, There are 3 new approvals today. Two NWA's - a CK5 and L5. And one new Nova find - an iron from Russia. Question - it has been my understanding that Nova names are reserved for those meteorites with dubious location data. So, why is it that many of the Labenne finds have not been renamed as Nova finds? And this new Russian iron seems to have find data similar to the majority of NWA's, so why aren't more NWA's classified as Novas? Is it because there are just too many NWA's? http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?sea=sfor=namesants=falls=valids=stype=containslrec=50map=gebrowse=country=Allsrt=namecateg=Allmblist=Allrect=phot=snew=1pnt=Normal%20tabledr=page=0 Best regards, MikeG -- --- Galactic Stone Ironworks - MikeG Web: http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter: http://twitter.com/GalacticStone RSS: http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 --- __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
