Stephen,
I have also treated Irons with NaOH , it is important to wash them well
in good quality 'distilled' water, and alcohol (preferably anhydrous &
pure) and dry in a drying oven for a few hours, then quickly apply a
coating of VCI/metal protector [before the iron cools] (otherwise

Ron, Steve and others,
Things really are at a snails pace on the list these days...so slow that I
thought I would pass on my meteorite revelation for the day.
Looking at my "Meteorite Calendar" for August, it dawned on me today that the
Adamana oriented meteorite owned by Robert Haag should be
I have had a bunch of inquiries regarding NWA1167 over
the last few days including from Dr Rubin at UCLA.
To confirm, yes, it is my meteorite and I got the name
from Jeff Grossman at the met society and NWA1167 is a
provisional name that I am responsible for getting.
But I have no idea how Rubin g
Comet Meteorite-Shop has many interesting ebay auctions running. However,
they have a zero feedback rating.
I am reluctant to buy from a zero feedback entity. Could any list members
who have dealings with this company advise as to the reputation of same?
Since I'm a new list member, I'll let

Hello and nice to be back,
Firstly I want to thank all of you who gave me sensible possibilities for
those mysterious possible meteorites. I have yet to go thru all of the mail
to note down what the consensus was, but one thing I did note was that no
one said they were not meteoritic - which sa
First, I'd like to point out those areas in which we
agree. Essentially, we agree on all points.
The main point that we both agree upon is that there
will be a "new layer of sediment". I wasn't specific
about the coarseness or the sorting of that sediment.
And we both agree that it will take ye

Mike,
Comet Meteorite Shop is a self described "team" of field collectors and
sellers of found(by them) and bought meteorite from different countries of
Africa and the Middle East. To date I'm assuming they have strictly sold

Mike,
I'll go a step further then John. You can absolutely trust Serge and
company. They are also good friends with Al Lang and he speaks highly
of them. Since Al is one of the true "good guys" in this hobby, whom
I've known for many years, that's good enough for me. I've also dealt

Hello List,
I just listed a collection of Park forest fragments from 4 different impacts.
This comes in a riker display box that I had built and displayed in my home.
This is a good opportunity for all Park Forest enthusiasts to get specimens
from 4 well known impacts at one time.
