[meteorite-list] A reply to all involved ...

Indeed, but the story goes deeper,
Edwin had been told by myself and others (including scientists) that the 2.5
kilo stone was a Diogenite, I have some of the same stone sitting in my
office and have seen many kilos of it in Morocco and some at the show in
other dealers rooms. That did not stop Edwin from still saying it was a
Martian meteorite. The Lunar piece is not even a meteorite. He had numerous
pieces in that case, a lot of NWA 1929. It was Edwin's first or second trip
to Morocco, so I understand if he does not know the dynamics there of just
how many stones are out there.
Again, this started as a joke, and you see Edwin did not deny that, of
course I can get Ted Bunch in on it since he helped play the joke on Jim
Strope and I. He knew those stones were not planetary, but decided to keep
saying it afterwards.
That is a huge difference.

And Walter,

not to forget, that we poor Europeans and others, who couldn't attend the
show, wouldn't know, how it was there, as until now I can find only his
report and no others else.

And not to forget, that eucrites can be sometimes very tricky.
I remembered last year a person showing around in Ensisheim a new lunaite,
which actually turned out later to be an eucrite, but I think, I forgot, who
it was...

Buckleboo!
Martin

At least the argueing shows, that all returned healthy from Tucson and full
of energy!

Hi Bernd,

Yes, I agree and I am glad you brought this up. I feel ashamed that I did
not bring this to the attention of the list yesterday.

Mark loves meteorites and he loves interacting with meteorite people. His
work cataloging and posting popular press and newspapaer articles is nothing
short of amazing and is a real contribution. He really did not deserve to
be placed in a bad light yesterday. He was duped only because of his
enthusiasm for meteorites and his desire to communicate with others who
could not be there (like me). There are many meteorite people I would like
to personally meet some day from this list and Mark and others are at the
top of my list.
