It's not manna from heaven, but is likely a meteorite weighing 75 pounds. Denny Asher of Yucca in northwestern Arizona says the discovery is "better than finding a bucket of gold." He found the rock about two weeks ago near his home. Asher is a veteran meteorite hunter. He says the 75-pounder is unlike any of the other pieces he's collected. The collections manager at Arizona State University's Center for Meteorite Studies says pictures forwarded to her by Asher almost certainly confirm his find is a meteorite. Scientists hope to test the space rock and determine its age, chemical composition and the origins of its parent asteroid._ ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
