Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
John, If they test it it is to make *sure* that #1 it's a meteorite. #2 to see if it is a match to any other meteorite (Like Campo). They will be able to tell easily if it is. The pros on the meteorite list know their stuff. We've seen a LOT of scams over the years. Just offering a little insight here. Don't be so offended. Have a good holiday! Tom On 07/03/2016 02:33 AM, John Pierce via Meteorite-list wrote: What an interesting few responses. You all certainly know a gazillion times more about meteorites and about meteorite scams than I know. Of these things I know almost nothing, though I do certainly appreciate that many parts (if not all) of the internet are rife with scams. I'm sorry that you have so much anger about it. But I can't help but wonder why, if it is so obvious that I'm perpetrating a scam, would the staff at PSU's Cascade Meteorite Lab, (who have had this meteorite in hand), not voiced this concern? They actually examined the rock in person - not just by way of a low res digital photo. Why would they have been certain enough to have promised to move the classification of this meteorite to the very top of their already long queue? They may be underfunded, but they sure didn't strike me as dumb. I can't help but presume they can ID a Campo as readily as you. Do you think they are ignorant? I guess you can presume that I'm also being deceptive about my contact with them. I really don't know the answer to that riddle. It is only on the basis of their authority that I can even claim to know that this is a real meteorite. I will call them again on Tuesday to ask their thoughts on this matter of a Campo scams. They don't seem to mind at all for me to "waste their time". I've never had any connection with law enforcement, although I have no idea what you think that might imply. (Are law enforcement people often untrustworthy?) I've always been obscure, and I will always probably BE obscure. I'm just one of the obscure masses. So there is no "drifting back" into obscurity needed. But I also sure don't need validation from your group.. I don't think you can find any link to me by Google search my name. But since you apparently were curious, you can see my short and non-special biography by going to QRZ.com and searching the call sign K7KEY. I'm obscure, but I also have nothing to hide. But my post here has not been fruitless. I've received a good number of very considerate direct replies from others offering useful advice and information. My regret now is that it appears that it would have been MUCH better to have asked about cutting an iron meteorite in the abstract. I was foolish not to think of this, and I now realize that the excitement of my discovery clouded my judgement.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
Hi John the difference is that at the University they are interested in science from meteorites, they have likely seen a Campo before. We are dealers, hunters and scientists and some of us have seen thousands of Campo's, or even 10 of thousands. Do your self a favor and type in Campo meteorite on e bay and have a look for your self. They are cleaned using a very specific process and it give these irons a very unique look which your iron has been given. I am going to also say that the university will likely have a different attitude, when you speak with them on Tuesday, they are interested in real science, not wild goose chases On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 6:33 PM, John Pierce via Meteorite-list < meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> wrote: > Hello All, > > > > This is my first post here.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
John, Here is the issue: You claimed to have FOUND this meteorite on your property. The problem is that what you have, in fact, is a Campo del Cielo. So, either you are the victim of a hoax and someone planted that meteorite for you to find, or you are trying to perpetuate a fraud onto our community. This community has its flaws and conflicts, but the one thing we are united in is ensuring that meteorites are real and that meteorites are properly represented as what they truly are. In the few responses your received, you are looking at probably over 100 years of experience dealing and handling meteorites. Campo del Cielo is one of the more easily recognizable meteorites out there for collectors and dealers. We see them by the tons, literally. Research institutions often see such small pieces of meteorite specimens that they may not have the experience we do in recognizing complete specimens. So you see, PSU's Cascade Meteorite Lab is neither stupid nor complicit. Riddle solved. We have seen this scam before and more than once. In fact, just recently one of our members told the story of unscrupulous vendors in Morocco selling Campos as new irons from the Sahara (this was a while ago). One famous fraud is the Baygorria meteorite (http://imca.cc/insights/2006/IMCA-Insights03.htm). I do not know you or your motivations, so I won’t comment on that. If you are the victim of a hoax, find out who perpetrated it. If you are trying to scam us, then please don’t try to argue. I’ve copied Dr. Ruzikaa who is the director of the Cascadia Meteorite Lab so that they may be informed of the situation. They may still decide to classify your meteorite, but at least they will have all the information necessary to make their decision. We are a small but tight knit community, and we call it as we see it. Some of us might seem rude and some of us might seem helpful, but none of us will tolerate anyone trying to perpetuate a hoax that COULD make our community look bad.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
Here is Mr. Farmer's email to me 60 seconds after I made my post: "Fuck you. What have I done to you. Only typical of you defending a scammer. Michael Farmer" Rude? You be the judge. I pegged it as a Campo the instant I saw the picture, so we agree(!) on that, Mike, but your allegation is way off the mark: "... it's typical of Paul to stand up for the scamming man. Ask Paul how much he will pay for it, surely he will put his money where his mouth is." Only one skilled in Farmerian Logic could construe a comment about rudeness by Person A as a defense of a scam by Person B. Non-Farmerian logicians would see it simply as a flimsy redirection - don't address the issue, just shout SQUIRREL and hope to divert everyone's attention. As to your last point, I'd pay a nickle a gram.

John I was answered Your question becouse You asked, but for me also its 99% Campo. Why ? First of all if its a new find, then WHO and WHEN just cleaned it to the pure iron ?

What an interesting few responses. You all certainly know a gazillion times more about meteorites and about meteorite scams than I know.

Why would they have been certain enough to have promised to move the classification of this meteorite to the very top of their already long queue? They may be underfunded, but they sure didn't strike me as dumb. I can't help but presume they can ID a Campo as readily as you. Do you think they are ignorant?

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
Mr Pierce, He is being "amazingly rude" because you think we are amazingly naive. We are not. We have seen this CRAP before many many times and it just doesn’t fly. I asked to see a photo of your meteorite precisely because I was a bit suspicious. Upon reviewing the photos it is VERY CLEAR that it is another Campo del Cielo. So instead of wasting PSU;’s time I will give you the classification right now. What you have is : classification Octahedrite Group IAB Composition 92.9% Fe, 6.7% Ni, 0.4% Co So you see you don’t even have to worry about cutting your precious hoax. Simply dissolve back into obscurity where you belong. No one here cares about your story. PS, I googled your name and...you wouldn’t happen to be a former Law enforcement officer would you? just curious -Paul Gessler From: John Pierce Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2016 4:46 PM To: Michael Farmer Cc: Paul Gessler ; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron Wow, Michael Farmer, you are amazingly rude.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
Al, Thanks for the information about the CBN blades. Good to know! I took the meteorite to the folks at PSU. They inspected/tested it and advised that their equipment is not big enough to hold/cut the stone. I didn't see their saw, so I don't know for sure what their limiting factor is, but their blade is only 4 inches diameter. I appreciate your advice, but I trust myself more than I trust most other people, and I am pretty capable at most shop things. I've done a lot of machining on steel, and I have another small iron meteorite (if it is even genuine) that I purchased years ago that I would "practice" on. I have a horizontal milling machine in my shop that is much more rigid and precise than any band saw, and which can outfit with a saw blade. With appropriate care, I can cut a slice of steel that has faces that are parallel within a few thousandths of an inch. So, while I will consider your advice very seriously, I'm not quite ready just yet to completely give up the idea of cutting an analysis sample myself. Thanks for your wishes of good luck.

Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting An Iron
Hi John, Using a CBN Blade sold by the company you referred to is a bad idea in my experience. In the past I used their blades and they were great early on. Don't know what happened but the quality of the blades went down and I coudn't even cut a half inch before the material on the blade wore off. I could feel on the blade where it was smooth and other areas maybe still a little cutting material left. I commented to the company owners before they sold the business and they were concerned as I showed them the blades and mentioned how long the blades lasted. However the problem was never solved and I stopped wasting my $$ on the blades. I don't recommend that someone who hasn't cut meteorites before cut off a sample. Picking the right spot so as not to detract from the mass is important. No doubt you will get a lot of people offering to cut for you, some good some not so good. Why not take it to the meteorite lab in Portland to have a sample cut. I would bet they would allow you to be there during the cutting. I'd make sure they know what they are doing as I have seen cutting jobs messed up by some of the best known institutions. One place lost over a kilo of material from their lack of knowledge of the material.
