[meteorite-list] AD: Darryl Futrell Canyon Diablo

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

Greetings all.

I recently came across an attractive Canyon Diablo which I received as 
part of an exchange with the late Darryl Futrell, back in 1999. At the 
time I had just returned from the Popigai Crater in Siberia and Darryl 
was very interested in acquiring impactites which I brought back from 
the site -- Darryl being a highly respected authority on tektites, 
impact breccias, etc.

It occurred to me that Darryl had many friends on the List, and perhaps 
someone here would enjoy having a meteorite specimen that once belonged 
to him. It is 537.9 grams, wire brushed, nice display piece. Darryl did 
not send an ID card with it, but I do have the pertinent correspondence 
in which we discussed the trade, so that should work as provenance.

If anyone would like to give this piece a good home, please email me 
off-List for photos and details. It's not a super valuable specimen, 
but I'd like to see it go to someone who will really appreciate its 
history, rather than just list it for sale on my web page. Trade okay.


Regards,
