Hello list,

It is my great pleasure to annouce that Dr. Galippe was correct.  In the 
Hupe's NWA 2126 (Eucrite), I have found fossilized crinoids.  A photograph 
of this important discovery can be found here....

Then again.....it could be just an interesting group of small plagioclase 
laths, that appear to be broken around an angrite fragment. (Ok, the 
fragment could be olivine, pigeonite or a dozen other minerals that light up 
very much the same, but I am saying angrite.) (Smile now.)

Other photographs of the NWA 2126 thin section can be found here:

Photograph two shows a nice hypersthene fragment.

PS: Adam or Greg, I noticed the NAU has 227g. as the TKW on their website, 
while you have 2227g as the TKW.  (And 2003, while you have 2004) If it was 
one stone of 2227g and NAU left off one of the "2's", let me know and I will 
fix the description appropriately.
