Hello Doug and list,

I wouldn't say email is magic. People that submit information usually

I don't know what grapevine you've been smoking, but I highly doubt that
the NomCom would accept bribes to get a meteorite deemed official.
Besides, the only way to tell if it's official is by looking at the

Hello,
I guess I will clarify a little. If you really want to get technical. A

Hello List,
Good morning, I just finished uploading some cool pictures to my

the H chondrite,) occasionally have impact craters on them. I have
photographed them at 40X and 100X. There are pictures of a perfectly

That is an excellent example of how these irons came to be. I've seen
some individuals with big flat squares of iron sticking out. One of the
stones I have is similar to the one you have but not as dramatic, the
metal is not peeling off, it's flat on the broken surface and
I just received a NICE little slice of NWA 2656 transitional Lodranite from

Hi Larry, Bill and list, I have a 12.5 g slice with a Franconia iron on the

Here are some pics, I have not did any sanding on the slice yet.

I find it a pain in the rear to wait for a 7 day auction to end. I know that

initial bids and then the auction goes into a freeze until the last day of

For the beginners of photographing meteorites and other rocks, minerals;

I'd suggest making a light stand. Very simple and cheap- just a couple of

Hi,
Selling, not meteorites but guitars, on eBay, I find that three day

the reserve. I have had to list things over, which almost never happens
