No, Steve, I didn't. Lafayette was a find and known before 1931:

A mass of about 800g was noticed by O.C. Farrington in 1931 in the
geological collections in Purdue Univ., Lafayette. Description,
H.H.Nininger, Pop. Astron., Northfield, Minnesota, 1935, 43, p.404 (M.A.
6-207), B. Mason, Meteorites, Wiley, 1962, p.232. The stone is very
fresh and similar to Nakhla; it may be part of that fall. K-Ar age, 1600
my., F.A. Podosek and J.C. Huneke, GCA, 1973, 37, p.667. Distinct from
Nakhla and Governador Valadares, J.L. Berkley et al., GCA, 1980, (Suppl.
14), p.1089.


Best regards,

Bernd
