Thanks to all the 50 + list members and others that responded to my
thoughts about a group meteorite hunt. Unfortunately, I have decided
that it would be impossible to do with so many. I really appreciate
all the emails though, I really do! But in an eight hour period it is

There are two finds in Allegheny County, near Pittsburgh, PA. They are:
The Pittsburgh, Coarsest Octahedrite, 6.99% Ni, found in 1850;
The Bradford Woods, Olivine achondrite, 3% metallic iron, found in 1886.
By the way, anyone know where I can purchase any of these? I

Hello List,
First off I would like to congratulate the people involved in the Springwater
project.
Now the question…
Why does the presence of fusion crust on meteorites make them more desirable

It's like paint on cars. I don't want to by an ordinary car without
paint for the same price, or close to that, of an ordinary car with paint.
In the case of the rarer meteorites, a Ferrari with no paint will still sell
for a pretty big chunk of change. Paint or no Paint.
