Hi Mike,

You are the one who provided us with NWA 801 from expedition number 5. Do
you recall I purchased a big chunk from Jim Strope's share at $100.00 a gram
because I thought it represented a Main Mass. Also do you recall the fake
strewn-field that was planted in Zagora? NWA1929 was revised because the
three largest stones were left behind and not reported, all from the same
batch. NAU was provided a type sample of each piece that was left behind
and an accurate TKW was reported while under provisional status.

Adam
