 9/13/2017 12:39:26 PM		 DAG 779...an early Howardite that was "somewhat" affordable back in the day (circa 2000). Also this meteorite was once sold by someone to another dealer as being from the Kapoeta Fall. This fraud was done by one of the meteorite communities ex-dealers that we had around then. I have one of those small DAG-779 pieces sold as Kapoeta. :/
