[meteorite-list] NWA 7387 - the Martian out of the drawer

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi Martin and List,

Interesting story, but short on details.  Was the meteorite initially
misidentified as something else?  Or, did it come to the museum as an
unclassified stone?  The way the article reads, it suggests that the
museum already had the stone and did not realize it was a Martian
until recently.  Is that the case? (ala, Lafayette)

Best regards,

MikeG
