Eric,
Does the matrix look normal or could it be a carb chondrite? I have heard
of some CC's that have unusual smells. could you post a link to a photo?
Thanks,

Hi List,
Don't laugh! This is weird...
While slicing some unclassified chondrite meteorites I noticed one meteorite
that was particularly odoriferous. I don't really want to say "what" this piece
smells like as I don't know if it's appropriate list content. Let's just say
that dogs lift their leg to fire hydrants, and maybe, sometime in the past,
this stone just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The smell was super intense while cutting. At first I didn't know where it was
coming from, then when I finished the cut, I actually smelled the stone to see
if that's where the odor was originating. Sure enough! Yuck!
I've cleaned the stone throughly. No amount of cleaning will remove the smell.
It's definitely coming from within the meteorite itself.
Has anyone else had any of their NWA stone meteorites that smell really bad?
