Hi List,

On hindsight, it seems Joel's Iron was never submitted to the NomCom
since it was found in 1858, but it was studied by Buchwald, and later by
Wasson & Canut de Bon, which establishes this name as authoritative just
the same.

Hey Mike,

Don't worry too much about the name. Heck, it might just as well have
been named Mike's Chondrite, which would be consistent with the NomCom's
acceptance of the name Joel's Iron from Chile.
