Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Is this oriented?
no way, tons of meteorites have flow lines, it is natural for anything
falling and melting to have a flow line. That does not denote stable flight.
If you are trying to sell me something oriented, I need to see shape, lines,
rollover lipping, etc.
Combined, those things can make nice orientation. But pretty much every
Millbillillie has flow lines, many are oriented, but I saw no signs of
orientation on that piece.

I wouldn't describe it as "oriented", but that word is in the eye of
the beholder I guess.
To me, Lafayette is the poster child for orientation and flowlines.
I guess you could say this - if you have to ask, it's not. ;)
Best regards,

PS - it's a very nice specimen, oriented or not. :)

Hi List. Can someone look at this picture and tell me if it is oriented?
It
is a 6.58 gm. whole stone of Millbillillie with 100% crust with flow
lines.
Top of meteorite is up, and conical tapering to a wide bottom. I bought
this
years ago and believe the Dealer said it was oriented but have had not
much
success making contact with the Dealer. I could take it out of the case
and
take more pics but I am being lazy (shame on me) thus using a picture I
already had taken. Thank Guys/Gals.
