Hello all,

I received today a couple specimens of Stan's NWA 2965. This has been a 
somewhat controversal meteorite on the list, so forgive me for going around 
the controversy a little and showing some photographs of the meteorite. If 
anyone is interested in photographs of a higher res, drop me an e-mail.

If I can start a different controversy around the meteorite....using the 
term chondrules with achondrites does not seem right to me.  Not because 
achondrite means without chondrules, but because the round inclusions in 
achondrites have different origins.  However, I like everyone else (?), lack 
a better term.  Maybe the IAU can work on this next....:^)

Clear Skies,
