[meteorite-list] AD: Novato back in the market

[Michael Farmer]

Perhaps a finder of one of the recovered pieces should step up, and cut a piece for science? 
I think they need more than 6 grams for the noncom rules do they not?
Didn't several California hunters find pieces? I guess this will just be another no-name fall.

All I'm saying is, this "leaving an official-status hanging-in-mid-air" would never happen in Canada. They would just simply buy the type-specimen.
