Now, it may very well be nothing but a piece of slag, but also from that Arnoldesque photo it doesn't look unlike weathered NWAs that I have, with bits of eroded fusion crust and areas of grey, detail-less deeply water-damaged interior, and possibly reflective bits of metal. A bigger/better picture might make that resemblance go away, but I'm still holding out the possibility that he has a low-end NWA that he is trying to pass off as an exciting new fall. http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/wrong_or_rite.jpg ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
