Hi Sonny and list, can someone clarify some things for me? I find it a bit confusing, so excuse me if I ask obvious questions. These are the facts as far as I have understood them:
Apart from the first Cat Mountain find there was Snyder Hill, which was not part of the same fall and only found while looking for further Cat Mountain pieces. There was another small Cat Mountain found by Robert Haag which didn't get classified. Now hunters were searching the Snyder Hill site and found two more Cat Mountains which are now sold on ebay. Who found the rocks, Count Deiro or the hunters who have also found the Snyder Hill piece? Who is selling them? And why was the third rock which was found designated 001? The second one hasn't been classified, but wouldn't the original find get the first number? Pretty amazing finds :-) Regine --- wahlpe...@aol.com <wahlpe...@aol.com> schrieb am Fr, 19.8.2011: > Von: wahlpe...@aol.com <wahlpe...@aol.com> > Betreff: Re: [meteorite-list] Cat Mountain on Ebay > An: cdtuc...@cox.net, meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com > Datum: Freitag, 19.
