Hi Sterling,
Thank you for your reply. You confirmed what I thought was the correct
information. She really doesn't know what she is talking about at all.
When I suggested it was Sikhote-Alin, she told me "no, SA contains olivine"
and that I was mistaken. I tried one last time to tell her that SA is not a
Pallasite, but again, I was wrong and she was right.
You just can't get through to some people when their minds are locked
tightly closed.
Ed

A bill of something, perhaps not goods.
No iron meteorites from Tunguska. No
stone meteorites from Tunguska. No
meteorites of any kind from Tunguska.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Tunguska Meteorites - Real or Not?
Hello listees,
I attended a fundraising event and there was a small, iron meteorite
specimen that had been made into a pendant. The person who donated this
item announced that it was a meteorite specimen that was recovered from
the Tunguska event.
I looked at the item, and it looked VERY much like Sikhote-Alin. It was
hard to tell if it was a small individual, or shrapnel that had been
tumbled to smooth it out.
She was very insulted when I suggested this was likely a piece of
Sikhote-Alin. She is Russian, and she purchased it from a Russian
gentleman. That was good enough for her.
Am I wrong? Have there been iron meteorites resembling Sikhote-Alin
collected from Tunguska? Or, was she and/or her friend sold a bill of
goods?
Thanks,
Ed
