Subject: [meteorite-list] Congratulations Todd Parker

Hi List,

I would like to congratulate Todd Parker on his new Arizona chondrite discovery. 
I had the pleasure of hunting with Todd Parker and Larry Atkins recently in the 
Arizona desert. While Larry and I were sitting on a hill taking a water break 
with Brix, Larry's phone rang with a very excited Todd on the other end. We 
could see him down below us, so we quickly rushed over to see what he had found. 
We saw a beautiful chondrite in situ. Todd was recording his find and preparing 
to take a photograph when Brix ran up and gave the meteorite a sniff and a lick. 
Todd was the first one to see the meteorite and Brix was the first (and only) 
one to lick it! : ) It is a  30-40 gram chondrite with fusion crust and visible 
metal flakes on on the broken end. It looks like Lawrence may have another 
meteorite to classify from Arizona. Congratulations Todd!
