[meteorite-list] Re: New Lunar? New Continent

[Mikestockj at aol.com]

Hi All
Just wanted to let the word out about the new possible Lunar meteorite. It is 
a 3200 gram beauty from.........and no it is not the dry deserts of Africa or 
Antarctica..... a little hint it's the first North American Lunar.....drum 
roll please....Colorado. How exciting is that. I guess it is good/lucky to be in 
Colorado (two achondrites in one year).
It is from Granada near Lamar for all of you Coloradans. That would be the 
south eastern side of the state near Kansas for everybody else or about 200 
miles SE of Denver.
Again it is only a possible Lunar.....but I'll keep you posted.
I have included an abstract to the upcoming Geological Society of America 
meeting in Denver about the meteorite.

ORIGIN FROM NEAR GRANADA, COLORADO, USA
