Hi Edwin and all, Port Orford. I don't know if you have read any of my posts related to the Port Orford Meteorite. While I admit that it could be a hoax, I have quite a few problems with the research on the Port Orford and don't agree with much of what was said. Believe me when I say I am

I want to thank all who offered input on my mystery specimen and whether or not it could be a mesosiderite. Some said the pic was too blurry to really see, so I took a good clear closeup. Here it is; http://www.meteorite-dealers.com/images/mesosiderite2.jpg Exterior shot isn't as clear but

Hi, My thoughts are that, that is NWA 074, (an H6 chondrite) I have seen a largish slice of that before and it is nearly identical! Very large amounts of uniform metallic iron just like that, and not many if any distinct chondrules (at least visually). Best, Mark Ford -Original

Thanks for the specific reference Mark. I've looked at some pics of nwa 074 and concur with you. They do look like the same material. Gary On 19 Feb 2007 at 16:02, mark ford wrote: Hi, My thoughts are that, that is NWA 074, (an H6 chondrite) I have seen a largish slice of that before

Yep, it is certainly as close as it gets, from a photo at least, I was pretty amazed by NWA 074 first time I saw it, actually, its quite stunning for 'just an H6'. I think the key giveaway is in the uniformity of the Iron, in a MESO I would have expected a bit more 'clumpyness' to the Iron, the

I've recenly bought a 14 gram Fukang on ebay. While it wasn't apparrent in the photos, when I received it I noticed on one edge of the slice a yellow crystal fragment seemed floating separated a few mm by a clear matrix . I suspect that this was material used to stablitize this pallasite in

Howard: I have seen this in a few pallasites recently and it is can be unsightly. It is a resin that is used to keep the thin slices from falling apart. Also, I had some Seymchan recently cut (by a very well-known person) and noticed he used some lacquer to hold together the crusted surface
