[meteorite-list] South Pole Meteorite - ALH761 a.k.a. ALHA76001

[Jeff Grossman]

I've been told another scientist that there is a better candidate that 
this could be.  ALHA76009 was a huge find with many pieces.  The stones 
had nice black fusion crust.  Some of these pieces "went missing" after 
they were brought back from the field.  It too is L6.  I tried to see 
how we know that the ebay stone was H, but the listing is gone.
