Dear List,

I find it interesting that a gross mistake was made in the latest issue of
Meteorite magazine.  On page 5 they are quoting NASA as commenting on NWA
2653.  Every piece of information and quotes were taken from Dr. Irving of
the University of Washington when describing NWA 3133 not NWA 2653 in
abstracts.  I think credit should be given to the real authors.  You can
find the entire statements made in Meteorite Magazine in the following
abstracts used to describe NWA 3133 not NWA 2653:

And several more references using a good search engine.

Take Care,
