Hello list, I haven't posted in a while, I have been busy with school work and I just got my report card (81% in physics :). I just got a whole bunch of unidentified meteorites from Northwest Africa that were sent to me by Simon de Boer (Thanks again Simon :) and I want to try classifying them. I need suggestions/tips/general rules about how to identify them. I am pretty sure they are all ordinary chondrites, they all have metal flake and chondrules except for a few badly weathered ones. Are there any keys for meteorites like there are for identifying insects and plants? Many of them don't look like any of the ones in my collection and photos on the internet don't show the fine details so I really have nothing to compare them to. I have some guesses on some of them but I would rather go about this scientifically. One of them has a few giant chondrules or inclusions in it. And one has so much metal in it it almost looks like a mesosiderite but with chondrules. A few of them have armoured chondrules, those are really neat. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. ************************************************************ Graham Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/aerolitehunter _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
