Hey Greg, (H)

So you've had "pee stones" before? Did you ever find out what caused it or is it just a guess that something relieved themselves on the stone?

Anyone ever do any chemical analysis of any of the "pee stones" or fart stones? ;) lol

Hello Joe, and Members of the, "Cut One Club" (aka, ran into a smelly meteorite),

As Michael mentioned before, we have run into stones, when cut, smelt just like that, a fart! We have had our share of "pee stones" and lets not forget the infamous multi-kilo, "Camel Stone", which had only rusted on one side, we found out later that this El Hammami stone had been transported by a camel, with the one side resting against the camels side the entire distance (didn't stink, but the influence upon the stone was noticeable).

Funny thread! Anyone who has been to Morocco will know what we are saying, you never know what you will find on these stones!! I remember a batch of stones one clever Moroccan applied Coca~Cola to some ugly old chondrites in order to make the "crust" look fresher (wasn't Coke's phrase, "Freshen-up"...).

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?
