[meteorite-list] Mifflin Update... and Real Mifflin Photos...

[Greg Catterton]

The slice Jim has is the non Mifflin stone. 
Jim, sorry, I have tons of emails, just got to yours and sent you an email as you must have been posting this.
I am reclaiming the material and will be sending a sample soon to be tested to try to confirm when this fell and just what it is.
