We're looking at an iron meteorite, which is a piece of material in
which predominantly heavy elements have been sorted and accumulated
through processes that took place over billions of years. Saying that
gold is uncommon in the solar system doesn't mean much; we know that

Hello All,
Greg is correct; unless the meteorites have been found in a demarcated
dense collection area, they should not receive separate names. The
Nomenclature Committee's policies regarding serial naming are rather
clear -- and since the stones are apparently paired, I believe

Hello All,
Many of you know that a man named John/Bryan Scarborough was recently
removed from the IMCA for selling meteorites that were analytically

Hello Dave, All,
I doubt that the stones that you have found were glacially deposited.
The larger one appears to be fusion crusted and relatively fresh on
the inside; it seems highly unlikely that it could be 13,000 years

Hello All,
I've gotten the impression from the emails on the list that people
