I do not recall the old ID but do know that the so called "Chondrite" (slag) and a "Pallasite" (Olivine Xenolith) was brought up before on the List. The description with the Cal-Tech story was also applied to some other material he was offering as meteorites. Although it is sometimes difficult to tell a weathered iron meteorite from Hematite by images alone, I will put money on hematite since it lacks the luster that a cut iron would display. I think he must have opened a completely new account and abandoned his old one. I am now sure it is the same person after reading the descriptions and seeing the giant piece of slag. Perhaps some other List member can recall his old ID.

My current opinion is this is probably the same person who changed This ID was created on April 15th. How long since the old one was kicked off? ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
