Hello Jeff and list,

While Michael Cottingham, Farmer and gang were selling the meteorite firs=
t as Oum Rokba, me and Dean Bessey sold lots of the meteorite under the n=
ame "NWA 400". It took me a long time to figure that out...(or I wouldn'=
t have purchased thin sections of both). Guess it's not that strange sin=
ce we were getting NWA 400 while they were getting Oum Rokba out of Moroc=
co. I can provide the thin sections if requested, but they are the same =
meteorite in my opinion. So if it does get an NWA number, not that I am =
saying it should or shouldn't, it has already received one.

Thanks, Jeff. What about "Oum Rokba"? Did that ever receieve an NWA nu=
mber, or is the name "Oum Rokba" itself in the pipe?
