Re: [meteorite-list] Opinions on an oddball meteorite I cut open

As I myself was out hunting meteorites today, I had another thought about your specimen Mike. The nickel content of the free metal might be so high it makes the specimen less attractive to a magnet. Certainly an enigma which is probably going to need lab work to resolve why it is so atypical

Hi Bernd, You asked: P:S.: Do any of our German list members have a German word for that kind of canned food ??? "Frühstücksfleisch" or "Dosenfleisch" - YUCK! Actually, "spam" seems to be an abbrevation of "spiced pork and ham"... Hope this helps, Norbert

Hi Adam and List, It reminds me of roofers working in the summer up on black tar paper. Right out of high school, I had a summer job in Florida doing lawn work. A friend of mine was a roofer. We both had to endure the merciless sun and choking humidity. We got into a friendly argument once over
