Since the list has a large combined knowledge and plenty of previous experience
what is the best way to dry out meteorites gathered from a wet environment?
would soaking in anhydrous alcohol or ether prior to oven drying do a better
job of removing moisture from the interior? Some of the meteorites I have found
locally are sweating rust even after repeated drying . Since meteorites conduct
electricity has anyone ever tried using it to stabilize rusty rocks? seems to
me the electricity would get right to the metal remove the water and reduce the
oxidation but I am not sure if it would cause other undesirable effects. On
another note after playing fetch using nwa 869 meteorites for several months,
my Lab Trixie has found her first meteorite, a small ordinary chondrite.
Best regards
Steve
