Hi List, After seeing some of the Franconia posts and their pictures, I got to thinking, does anyone know how many different types of the Franconia Wash meteorite from Arizona there are? ++++++++++ has any larger stones been sectioned where these fissures are to see if the stones vary in metal content? ---------------------------------------- Hello Wally B. & List Here is an image of a slice that I have taken from the first & original "Franconia (H5)" stone: http://www.geocities.com/bolidechaser/mrf/franh5-g.jpg We may never know "how many different types of meteorites were found in the Franconia Wash area of AZ" So far, the only stone that has been classified was the first one that was found by John Wolfe. I submitted this classificationa and the name "Franconia" to the Nomenclature Committee, and contrary to what is being said, it is now approved - and it currently appears in MB#88. But the name "Franconia" only applies to this one stone - the first find - which is in my possession, and for now, only slices from that stone can be properly called "Franconia (H5)". Here are several other slices that are from the, now officially recognized Franconia (H5) meteorite: <http://www.geocities.com/bolidechaser/mrf/franconia-slices.htm> Bob V. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
