[meteorite-list] AD - Nakhla Dog Meteorites - Important Texas Meteorite Collection

[Rhett Bourland]

Kentucky is also home to Eagle Station which has its own Eagle Station
pallasite subgroup and Burnwell which Tim McCoy at the Smithsonian has

that classification.

We've got horses.
We've got bourbon.
We've got weird meteorites.

(and the two that I mentioned are in my own collection)
