dc.description.transcription	The American Museum of Natural History Central Park West at 79th St. New York, 24 N.Y. Dear Oscar, it was good to see you on Friday and to talk about our mutual interests. I have run the Comanche stone, and, as you surmised, it is an olwine-bronzite chondrite, having olwine with 10% Fe2SiO4. Another one for the long list of chondrites with this composition! Regards and best wishes, Sincerely Brian Mason
