Hi all,
Something I don't usually do but want to this particular time is to make mention that
I have seen all the specimens Mark is offering up. He has some real nice material if
anyone is interested and I will personally vouch for his integrity as far as dealing
fairly with people. If you don't h
FINALLY!!
We have consensus on
"what is iron shale and what is a meteorite".
It's whatever Steve and Gregory deem it to be!
And if our specimen should look like those on this web
page:
http://www.meteorlab.com/File2003-34/pg2.htm
then, apparently, we have an iron shale.
!!
We have just finished putting the final touches on our collection of Park
Forest Meteorites that appear at http://www.mepage.com/meteorite_store.htm .
This now reflects a complete catalog of our efforts in the last two months.
Our remaining complete meteorites ranging from 85 to 229 grams in weight
Are there any dealers in the Montreal area ?
Please contact me off list.
Cheers
Andre Bordeleau

let´s play, Shirovsky is a man-made one, ok? It has all characteristics of

No, we DO NOT have a "man-made pallasite". A pallasite IS a type meteorite.

The seller is IMCA member #8645. In an earlier auction of this material
he was informed that the jury was still out on this material. The
description states that it IS a pallasite classified by the Vernadsky
Institute of Moscow. At the same time he states it is being sold "as
