Geoff writes:
I have been working on this meteorite for eight years. In my professional opinion, Las Palmas is a separate meteorite fall and nothing to to with Campo. The strewnfields are 200 miles apart and perpendicular to each other. I have refrained from releasing this material as official classification is still pending, but I just had to share this fusion-crusted, sculptural beauty.

Mike, you say 'it isn't 200 miles away'. Geoff says it is. You are implying he's a liar, yes?

Excellent piece of the Las Palmas Geoff, This one is a real beauty and until it is possibly classified otherwise is still a Las Palmas!

Because it isn't from 200 miles away. It's just campo, when sales slow, call it something else.......

If there is an actual strewn field (i.e., not just a few pieces that could have been carried by abos or whatever) and it's 200 miles from the Campo strewn field, how can it be Campo?

It's campo.

Great looking Iron mate, why is classification so slow on this beauty?
