Hello Mike, very sorry for the confusion. Apparently Rob Wesel showed you the large collection of specimens that I am selling and in the group there were these two specimens with your numbers on them. I bought the impact melt from Ali Hmani in Ste Marie Aux Mines, France this last June and he gave me this number saying that he had sold you your impact melt in Munich last year that you were selling slices of in Tucson. Sorry for stepping on your nomenclature toes. As for the R4, I really do have a piece with the number NWA 1906 on it, it is a substantial piece that I acquired from another dealer. Unfortunately, in the din of Denver tear down, I made a mistake and put it's label in with a whole flat of NWA 753 stones and put the NWA 753 label in with the one stone that I acquired with your NWA 1906 R4 classification on it. I regret having to admit making this mistake but hey, I am just a bag of flesh on a rack of bones and to err is human. Even though my initials are E.T. I am just a simple and slowly bec
oming senior, human. And hey, if anybody wants any, I have about 3 kilos of NWA 753 R chondrite (very nice small to medium sized individuals). And I have roughly 24 kilos of this wonderful impact melt breccia. I'll check with Ali to see if he has already gotten another NWA number from Dr. Ted Bunch and if not I'll send Ted a piece and get my own number for it. In the meantime, if anyone would like a nice loaf of bread sized and shaped individual of this IMB, I have one specimen that weighs 16 kilos. It's available for sale or trade. All you folks know that I love to trade!
Sincerely and humbly, Edwin Thompson
