[meteorite-list] Hualapai Wash 003

[Bob Holmes]

John and List,

I don't believe that any HW meteorite other than 001 (referred to at that 
time only as Hualapai Wash), was ever recognized by any one other than the 
submitter. Eventually, there is one accepted HW, simply called Hualapai Wash 
(no numerical suffix). I do believe that the NomComm has simply lumped all 
the other HW mets into a single group they called "Gold Basin Area" 
meteorites. Their assertion was that all these samples came from the same 
(very large), heterogeneous stone.

It is my contention that even the sample that was ultimately recognized as a 
separate meteorite and given a unique name is part of this same, massive 
Gold Basin stone. But that's my opinion.

Take care,
Bob
