[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Martin,

I do not keep a list of paired meteorites or possible paired meteorites.

Dhofar is no different then DaG or other like regions.  I have traded more 
in DaG so I could tell you some pairs in it.  I have seen a few tables of 
Dhofar's where you have several H5 or L6's that look a lot alike.

There have been pairing studies done in DaG, Roosvelt County and Anartica.  
In all of these high collection places pairings were found to be pretty 
common.  Which I do not see as any problem and that was not a negative 
Dhofar comment.  Anyone thinking it was negative is free to send me all 
their Roosevelt County meteorites.  Should a pairing study be made, I think 
the numbers say you will find Dhofar no different then other areas of 
meteorite concentration.

The naming rules in all these areas say pretty much, unless it fits 
together, it gets a different name...or number as it is.  We seem to have 
changed this a little to, found within a few feet, as many of the DaG's with 
the same number do not fit together.

On my website you will find I have many Dhofar, DaG and other like numbered 
meteorites.  However, if you check the gallery, you will see in my personal 
collection, I avoid like classification meteorites from regions of high 
meteorite concentration.
