[meteorite-list] Greensburg Pallasite

[David Freeman]

Dear Anne, List;
I see in my catalogue that there is no Greensburg listed....mmm.

We have on page 222, Great Bend, Greaterville, Great Sand Sea, 
Greenbrier County, Geenwell Springs, Grefsheim but no Greensburg Pallesite.
 Better luck next time,
Dave F.
