| Good evening Mohamed and Friends, Sorry Mohamed. While I am always cautiously optimistic about possible Lunar meteorite finds I am afraid that I must agree at this point with my learned colleagues. The photomicrograph seems to reveal that your find is not likely a lunar meteorite. I was most interested in seeing the white clast material under magnification. Having now seen it, it does not appear to be similar to the clast material I have seen in authenticated Lunar specimens. Don't give up your quest for meteorites because of a few failures though. As seasoned meteorite hunters will tell you, meteorwrongs are all part of the process. I have read some really good advice directed your way by List Members in the past couple of days. I am sure that much of it will be helpful to you. Keep up the search and you will eventually find your meteorite. Best Regards to all, Paul Mohamed wrote: A couple of good microphotographs at 20X and 40X might be helpful too. Thanks Paul for your reply. Here is a HQ picture (1MB) with about 5X magnification. http://www.alifyaa.com/meteorite/pln/hq.JPG Sincerely Mohamed H. Yousef |
