Lyn, if you could e-mail a sample of your mystery rock to me via PM, I could probably identify it.

That'd probably be quicker.

I keep losing members, but we all have our priorities and life just keeps getting in the way.

I noticed a "notch" in the crater rim, sort of inline with the spot orientation. Very interesting.
