Hello Mike and list,
I was trying very hard to get a piece of the Innisfree meteorite for my private
collection
since over 20 years! Since I already have Pribram, Lost City, Neuschwanstein,
Moravka

Hello All,

surrounded by a broad seam of swathing kamacite.

Bernd,
How can you tell the difference between kamacite and tenite? Does the
crystal structure give it away?

Thanks for the link.
It appears then that records of meteorites hitting trees may actually be
