Re: [meteorite-list] New 4.4g Cold find
Hi Sonny, It does look carbonaceous. Maybe you could hand cut it on a small trimsaw - just shave off the broken area where the matrix is exposed. It should leave the majority of the stone intact. Given the small size, the type sample won't be much. :) Best regards, MikeG -- - Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/GalacticStone Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/galacticstone RSS - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 - On 1/16/13, Michael Farmer m...@meteoriteguy.com wrote: Congrats Sonny, I would guess carbonaceous myself.

Re: [meteorite-list] New 4.4g Cold find
Hi Pat How strongly is it attracted to a magnet? In my limited experience, a carbonaceous in general would be less attracted to a magnet I would say the magnet attracts to the meteorite in the same range L-H chondrite.I tested Allende CV3.2, Moapa ValleyCM1,These two had less attraction for the magnet.Dag 192 CO3, NWA801 CR2, and Lucerne Dry lake CK4 had a attraction that was close to my meteorite. Just by eye and heft, what is the density compared to an OC? Carbonaceous Ch. are usually less dense than an OC It does seem less dense than OC pieces in the same size range that I have.

I second your idea about not wanting to cut it. At first blush it does look carbonaceous. The crust does have that 'bubbly burnt marshmallow' kind of look as I have seen on some other carbonaceous chondrites. * How strongly is it attracted to a magnet?

Carbonaceous Ch. are usually less dense than an OC * I would also recommend looking at it in reflected cross polarized light. The allows you to look through the desert vanish (but not real fusion crust) and may give a better look at the interior without cutting.
