Hi Chris and Rob
Thanks for your replies. I can say with certainty that it was not a
satellite. These are moving objects and I've seen plenty of those as
well as iridium flares. I'm also an amateur astronomer and have seen my
share of these man made objects. I've also seen a few meteors that

Sardis is bleak in the online literature but it is recorded in the BM's

Hello Elton, All,
Hardly; I just think it's stupid to rule any sample out completely
without a lab analysis.
There's no single feature on the stone being auctioned that would
suggest that it is not, in fact, a fresh mesosiderite individual, and
seeing as I am as qualified as you, if not better, to

The only slag that I've known to contain olivine was Seymchan, and
