Re: [meteorite-list] NEW Eucrite, absolutely the strangest ever seen!

Hey sorry Norm, That reply was not meant for me, I know that now, and the reply of mine was not meant to go out to the list, I am still just slightly jet-lagged and a little sick right now from that darned Indian food. Must be time delayed.  Also, on another note, I found out that I will be a daddy in about 8 months! so if you can understand, I am a little not quite myself right now.

Mark & others,   This is totally absurd.  Look up "gabbro" if you can spell it.  Then write.   Norm (an earth geologist that doesn't make up new definitions---) ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Ferguson To: tett Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 7:49 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] NEW Eucrite, absolutely the strangest ever seen! Hi Tett and list   A gabro is a collection of individual rocks (they don't have to be the same kind of rock either) welded or held together by some cemmenting substance. Here on earth, the cemment can be cristobalite, opal, limestone, stiltstone, and many other items. A cemment with rock in it is a manmade gabro. So, gabroic infers that it is like a gabro.   Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: tett To: Michael Farmer ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 4:14 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] NEW Eucrite, absolutely the strangest ever seen! What the heck does Gabbroic mean?   Took a look at the images on your web page.  Sure is one cool looking meteorite   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Farmer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 6:49 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] NEW Eucrite, absolutely the strangest ever seen! I have finally got a classification that I have been waiting two years for. It is NWA 1925, a new Gabbroic Cumulate Eucrite. This sucker is the strangest meteorite I have seen, we did not know what to think when we cut it. Likewise the scientists have been having a fit with it. It is unlike any known eucrite, large crystals up to 8mm of Plagioclase and Pyroxenes. Read the data for yourselves. I have a little for sale, and that is it. Grab it now, Ted Bunch said that it is one of the most interesting meteorites that he has ever seen. It is listed on my website. I also hope to get the India webpage up later tonight.   Mike Farmer www.meteoritehunter.com
