Re: [meteorite-list] Ad-Announcing a New German Iron Meteorite!

All I said is that I have seen similar looking etches in real bomb shrapnel. These were tested and determined to be of earth origin. Just so you are aware of the possibilities.
I do not have a piece, personally. Maybe others do.
Take care,
Matt

Hi Matt and all thanks for your emails. Sounds like a
pretty interesting bomb. Do you guys have any photos
that you can share with us of the 'etch' and are you
sure it was a bomb fragment? The etch on this specimen
looks remarkably similar to NWA 2428 which has a 12%
nickel content. At this point in time we have no firm
plans of getting it classified. If a buyer wants to
get it classifed (to make sure its not a "bomb
shrapnel") that will be great, but for right now we
are reluctant to chop off a chunk of this otherwise
very sculptural specimen and ruin its aesthetics. We
are working on getting a non-destructive nickel test
performed.

Hi John:
Interesting find. Has this been classified?
Not to burst a bubble but I have seen bomb shrapnel
etched like that.
Wondering...

Hello everyone! We are extremely pleased to


announce a


New German Iron meteorite! This is only the 12th


iron


meteorite to ever be found in Germany and it is a
spectacular, sculpted specimen. We are leaving it


in


an 'as found' condition for now with the exception


of


windowing a small area and etching it.


Surprisingly,


it has a brilliant micro-etch pattern somewhat
reminescent to our New NWA 2428! We are accepting
offers and you can check out this unique German


iron


on our website.

Cheers
