Hello List, I am new to the list and relatively new to the meteorite collecting thing! I know when I have found a possible meteorite, there is always great people out there willing to look at it, and give an opinion. Well I read an article on collecting micro meteorites. I thought my mother in-laws roof would be perfect for collecting micros. She has a large house that's about 40 years old and has a white pea-gravel roof. I figured it would act like a giant sluice box!
So, I went up and dragged a magnet through the 1/2 inch deep gravel. I came up with some Interesting stuff, one in particular! It is about the shape of a piece of rice, a very small piece of rice, magnetic, black and under a 10 X loop it is a dead ringer for an oriented Sikhote-Alin I bought on E-Bay! Can a micrometeorite be oriented? Is there Micro-collectors that would look at a possible Micro? I do not have a microscope so I can't do much more. I sure would like an expert's opinion on this little guy. Thanks , Tom
