[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - Steins (New Mexico)

[Robert Verish]

You're welcome, Bernd!  :-)

With best regards,
Bob V. 
P.S. - 
What
Bernd knows but others may not, is that I had to donate a thin-section 
and the type-specimen (taken from the main-mass) in order to "get the 
ball rolling" again, after it had come to a terminal stand-still in the 
approval process.  This goes to show that collectors have some influence
in these matters, and if willing to make a sacrifice, can make a 
difference.
