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!
