[meteorite-list] Bonhams Auction Zagami LOT in question and others May 17th 2011 NYC.

[e-mail ensoramanda]

Most of the lots have now been changed but still one does not  seem
right......eg

"A partial slice of the lunar NWA 2727 chassignite meteorite."!!!!

Didn't know there were lunar chassignites!!! Think it should be 2737
and read Martian.
