Can you tell that yesterday it was 100.4 F. (previous record 98 F.) and today it's 102 F (previous record 93 F.) with 94% humidity? A nice day to sit in front of the computer at a balmy 82 F (with 40% humidity) and worry about odd metal rocks probably not from space... Meteorite? No way! Is this another contest? If so, I vote for Molybdenum. Yup, Molly Be Damned gets my vote!

Any real experts (not me) on The List? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Not me either. But there is plenty of Molybdenum in Colorado. 2 of the largest mines are right here, the Climax and the Henderson mines. I even picked up a small piece on Mt Antero, very shiny, with a purple tinge. Maybe Matt Morgan, our Colorado geologist, can come up with an explanation. Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] President, I.M.C.A.
