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.

Hello, In agreement with the expressed by Mr. Michael Farmer, in a lot of meteorites from Campo del Cielo he found a new chondrite named Pitino. On this matter I have two observations: 1) There is no city or geographic reference with that name in Argentina. In that case the proposed name for

Hey Mike, 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. David There is no city or geographic reference with that name in Argentina.
