[meteorite-list] New Eucrite? - Eastern Slovakia

[Meteorites USA]

Hi List, Marcin is correct,

After looking at "the fine print" I see that I made a mistake about the 
photo. The photo used for the article was an "(illustrative photo)" only 
and not the actual stones from this fall. I still stand behind my ID 
that the ones in the original photo I was asking about are quite 
possibly eucrites.

Now the only mistake I made was to not read the small print. Oopsy... ;) 
Sorry guys.

Regards,
Eric
