[meteorite-list] Mark's Tucson Report and Martin's Signs Gallery

[Jim Strope]

I guess in the future it would be wise to "consider the source" when someone 
tells you they have a Lunar or Martian.   Especially one that has not been 
analyzed before it has been unannounced.

Unlike this one which is a real lunar, not yet cut or released for 
sale..........

Greg Hupe also had a REAL Lunar that he was displaying in Tucson, residing 
for a time in Farmer's room.
