What term best describes your personal ethnology Sterling?

Hi,
The term hicks refers to the inhabitants of Hicksville, New York, located
on Long Island, which was once (a century ago) a totally rural environment.

Hi,
Regarding Fusion Crust; I have long argued for a 'fusion crust scale'
(like the weathering shock level scale) only for specifying individual
specimens
What about something like an 0-6 'FC' scale (FC=Fusion Crust)
FC 0 for none
1 ~Tiny Piece of crust
2 ~33%
3 ~50% Fusion Crust
I often think the same thing. The only problem then is
determining the grade of the crust. Eg, fresh, weathered, partly weathered,
discoloured etc. Not a bad idea though!!!
Cheers,

That sounds good but there are so many degrees of crust. Thick primary,
double thick primary, primary ranging into secondary with metallic splatters
and thin secondary that ranges suddenly into a zero crust pristine matrix.
Fine misty crust mixed with matrtix and metal that that fogs over the
Bill,
Yes, but when people sell 'Individual's' they 'usually' only specify the
Primary and Secondary fusion crust in %. I agree you can have many
variations and one could write a whole page describing fusion crust of
any individual meteorite but everything will fall into the 6 categories.

Hello List,
Another list member asked if we had seen a meteorite like this before.
Check this out, it looks like the world's first sedimentary meteorite or it
could be just another Galaxy meteorite delaminating at the glue seams:

Actually that's a REAL meteorite. Dean Bessey's selling it and I've bought
some from him before. He was on this list for a while. DEAN!! You out

Anyways, the first sedimentary meteorite was found by a guy named Mohammed
Yousef along with some mercurian and venusian meteorites. I think he
Hi Adam, and List,
Looks like an awefully weathered, and highly serpentinized chondrite
to me, although this doesn't fully explain the distinct layers (?) that
can be seen in this specimen. The photo isn't too good, and maybe the
layers are in fact schlieren that often look a bit like sedimentary
Hi Graham, Tom and List,
I did not check to see who was selling this meteorite(?). I am sure Dean
would not knowingly sell a meteorite wrong. If this thing is a meteorite it
is the most weathered I have ever seen. It is actually weathering in layers

There are some Arizona meteorite auctions ending

For those who collect specimens from the Park

Hi,
I can't believe I forgot to include Bubbas and crackers and white trash!
Cedar choppers I didn't know about until now. In southern Illinois, all Germans
are called Dutch, a corruption of Deutsche that arose during World War I as a
polite circumvention. We are nothing if not polite.

Actually, it does not look that strange. I have some canyon Diablo
iron oxide meteoritic material that looks quite similar. The iron appears to laminate
(or delaminate?) as it deteriorates into an oxide. I would suggest that the
same thing is happening here in what is probably a severely
