Aloha Fred,
It was my pleasure to meet you and Larry and both your wives during your visit
to the BIg Island. I'm glad you enjoyed the scopes, and I was enthralled by
your and Larry's stories of the Elbert fall and other adventures. Maybe I'll
come visit you guys on your home turf, perhaps
G'day Greg,
This photo has been sent to me at least 2 or 3 times over the past few
years. I have replied to their inquiries but never gotten a response. It
doesn't seem quite right to me but I've suggested taking a sample and
getting it looked at by a scientist. No response!
Cheers,
Jeff
Hello Steve, All,
I'm going to say that this is no longer about Joe's find, but about
meteorites in general...Martin's message is replied to below this
post.
The scientific value in a meteorite is in the information it contains. To
obtain most of this information, a rock has to be cut,
That line is interesting. I personally lean towards a slag. There are
actually quite a few vesicles through the surface and if you have a look
near the top-right corner there is a broken spot on the exterior revealing
what appears to be a vesicle-filled and non-metallic interior. But it is

I spoke to your criticism of Joe---and what was his difficult decision
whether or not to subdivide his specimen---as being overly judgmental
and condescending.
Your very first words in response to my thoughts were I wouldn't
expect anything less from a dealer, and you later
Hello,
Yes, my first instinct on looking at that thing is to fire up a portable wet
saw and cut the crap out of it. It almost looks like a prob from a B movie.

If I wanted my inbox filled with drama every day I would have subscribed to
the Old ladies at the beauty parlor forum or the yapping circus dog
forum. How did this space devolve from a pseudo scientific bent into the
land of drama? You know what they say about opinions. Let's get back to the
core

Hi All,
The regmaglypts on the trailing end are flaring in directions contrary
the leading edge of entry and they do not match the majority of the
other regmglypts. This is a man-made object - probably yard art or
some kind of prop.
Best regards,

Sounds good. Thanks for the explanation Mike.

Greg,
Did you post what the story behind it is?
Because if this guy has reason to believe it is a meteorite it would help to
know why.
Did it fall through his roof or was it found at a space movie sound stage?

Hi Gang,
The problem with a photo like this, it's just one angle and one photo.
For all we know, the object is hollow with a cavity facing away from
the camera. There could be a piece of scrap iron attached to the
inside surface that the magnet is attracted to through the non-ferrous
surface.
It looks like the rocks I saw while visiting the plant Zeurtron back in
1587. They often piled them up in their yards and took crystals and placed
them on top. Spheres were also popular since they sat well in the
thumbprints on top. Of course the people of Zeurtron had much bigger
specimens of

Just looking at the picture only without knowing any history. It looks to me
like a real iron meteorite, thumb prints and all. It even has a magnet stuck
to it. Next have it checked by an expert.

Your last post has convinced me to nominate you for a Harvey Award this next
year. Are you coming to Tucson by any chance in 2011?

Maybe it's a cast of a meteorite sculpture done by the lost wax process. I
would say it could be a cast of a real meteorite, but the regs just don't
look quite right. It's been pointed out they don't flow correctly. I get
the same feeling from this I get from looking at a Picasso or Van Gogh
He surely deserves a Harvey, Steve, not just by virtue of this single post
alone! So let the idea roll. One of the real Oldies and Goodies imho...

Hello Adam,
I'm not sure that I understand when you say that you no longer chase falls and
haven't for years.
Weren't you here in WI chasing down Livingston a week or so ago?
Please don't take offence, as that is not my intention. Just wondering.
Kind Regards,
