Martin and list,

I thought that Axtell and Allende was so exactly the same (in appearance AND
composition) that it took a couple of years before they were able to prove
that Axtell was NOT Allende.  And due to the fact that it was found by the
farmer decades BEFORE Allende fell, it could not be a transferred Allende.  I
am not sure what they found in it to separate the two compositionally?  Anyone
else know?
