I'd like to announce that the stone meteorite I recovered during my September
2005 expedition near Plainview, Texas has been paired. It has paired with the
Kress (d), TKW was 57g. The report of the field trip is found here:

This was the meteorite that a junior researcher or grad student mis-identified as
a meteorwrong. The copy of the letter (written on ASU letterhead) will
accompany any meteorite slice.
Now with our 455g stone the TKW is 512 g. My stone has been cut and the
total mass I'll have left after saw loss is 335g. I will have it for sale at the Tucson
Show. I'll arrive Monday afternoon to heckle Steve Arnold and his new Brehnam
paperweight, then I'll be in my Room at INN SUITES 230 along with Impactika.
I do wish to point out the extreme irony of the trip. The meteorite I bought was a
meteorwrong (Plainview Weird One), and the meteorwrong I bought was a
meteorite (Kress-d). Hats off to this hobby!
