Mike,

I'm sorry not to get in touch earlier but I've been very busy at

work. I was not able to analyze the chip at NASA. The whole time I

was there I was just trying to get the instrument up and running.

If/when the instrument is working again and I go to NASA, as

promised, I will analyze the sample (if you are still interested). I

wish to remind you though, I am nearly positive this rock is not a

meteorite. There are too many common examples of this rock type on

Earth, and none known to be meteorites.

Best wishes,

Chris Romanek
