Hello Bill,
Can you show us a picture of the interior of your new meteorite?  Seems 
like I saw a picture of a part slice a while back but can't remember where 
to find it.

Also, is there a possibility that you will be offer slices of this new 
Arizona chondrite?  I know that several of us that specialize in Arizona 
meteorites would like to own one.

Congratulations again on your new find.  I'm thinking it might be worth the 
price just to get the proposed name so I can narrow down wher to hunt for 
more;-)

Best,
John Gwilliam
