Good Evning List, Here is a question; perhpas some of the older list members may be able to offer their opinion - In what years was the term "aerolite" used for stoney meteorites? I have a small, labeled test tube containing fragments of the Waconda, KS meteorite. The collection label that it came with is written on ruled paper (turning yellowish brown) and reads "Areolite: Date of find 1873, Waconda, Mitchel Co. Kansas".
Is there any way of determining approximately when this label was written? The handwriting looks gothic.
