Hi Jeff et al., I think the prettiest Murchison I have ever seen belongs to Al Lang. He was kind enough to let me pick it up and examine it up close. It's perfectly oriented and complete. Here's the picture on Al's site:

It was the beautiful Murchison CM2 meteorite which has been the subject of much scientific interest over the last four decades. It's this meteorite which sparked much interest in the contained amino acids and the burgeoning theories of meteorites seeding life on Earth. Happy Birthday Murchison. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&sa=1&q=murchison+meteorite Cheers, Jeff Kuyken Meteorites Australia www.meteorites.com.au Director - I.M.C.A.

A friend of mine was in Murchison today and no one had any idea it was the 40th Anniversary even though there was a big celebration for the 30th! ;-) ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
