[meteorite-list] Park Forest Auction #2

2003-08-07 Thread Mark Jackson
Dear List, Well, the PF "golf ball" didn't sell. I know, I know it was pretty weathered. Let's see if it can make some nice slices. I didn't want to do this, but finances force me to offer my 75g crusted PF individual also found on July 30, 2003. You get a three day crack at it.

Given the reputation of the people examining this stuff, how busy they are, and the amount of time they are willing to spend on this - It's not crap. It is probably more related to a tektite than anything else if one were to summon up a simile , and how did pieces of this wind up embedded in a
