Hi
How about hunting on the local moor, here in Denmark ?
It is a cool and humid climat here.
But on the other hand Rob has succes in England where the climat is pretty
much the same.
Anyone with experience from our kind of climat ?
Best wishes

Good day all.
I have perhaps a very dumb question that I haven't been able to find the
answer to.
When the Met Bul shows the classification of a meteorite, it sometimes uses
the notation X/Y or X-Y. For example you may have a meteorite classified as
H4/5 or H4-5. Are these two classifications
Different. A slash means it was classified as being transitional
between the two types, H4 and H5. A hyphen means it is a breccia of
H4 through H5 lithologies.

Peekskill had an initial mass of about 10 tons, so it had an almost 2 meter
diameter.
Less is known about the Grand Teton object. Depending on its composition,
its size could have been as low as 3 meters, up to perhaps 15 meters. It was
certainly a larger object than Peekskill.

If this is a worthwhile question, how about Peekskill, which so many of us
witnessed - how large would that have been at the start of its descent?

It took me quite a long time to figure out remember the difference between

Hi Gary,
I give my gentle rusters an occasional brushing with a wire brush to
remove scale. Then I spray them with Sheath, an excellent preservative that
dries relatively quickly and doesn't have a strong odor. Sheath can be
found at Gander Mt. (maybe Cabelas). It's used to protect and preserve
I second this method; it leaves you with a nice looking and less rusty
campo.

Hi List,
It is my belief that 90% of the preservation of meteorites is in the
preparation. Meteorites should never be cut with tap water becuase it
contains chemicals that start reactions, mostly corosive in nature! Any cut
meteorite containing elemental metal should be polished on both sides to

Good comments here. Personally, I like to have one surface of my slices

Hi Gary and List,
This is a tough question to answer because each meteorite is different. In
all cases that involve liquid polishing it is good to use distilled water or
oil starting with coarse grits and going finer until the desired contrast is
reached. I start with 180, then 220, then 360,

It is uncertain if the meteoroid was massive enough to even survive to the
ground had it been on a steeper trajectory- probably not. Objects of similar
energy are recorded by satellites and infrasound arrays once or twice a
year. Had it reached the ground within a few hundred meters of where
