Re: [meteorite-list] Odd Stone
Interior looks interesting but the exterior would lead me to believe its an ordinary earth rock. Having said that my mind could change if I held it in my hand with a magnet and a little magnification. For now - I say earth rock. P.S. good pictures though!

[meteorite-list] odd stone - a melt maybe?
Hey everyone, I can't make it to Wisconsin so had to console myself with a little adventure with the saw. I've had an odd lumpy grey unclassified desert stone that I've wanted to take a look into. What do you think?

Re: [meteorite-list] odd stone - a melt maybe?
So, should I expect to see more emails about the cutting of a stone or is it okay to cut lumpy stones? Btw, how would this apply to the music industry? Would it be okay to slice up Watts, Wood, and Richards, but not Jagger and maybe Wyman? :-) On May 4, 2010, at 7:15 PM, Phil Morgan wrote: Hey everyone, I can't make it to Wisconsin so had to console myself with a little adventure with the saw.

Re: [meteorite-list] Odd Stone - Update (and another similar oddball)
Hi Eric and List, Your stone reminds me of one that I have had for a while. It exhibits very weak attraction to a magnet, and it looked like a weathered OC on the outside with typical windpolished desert varnish and lack of crust. When I windowed it, I say a mottled grey matrix with no visible chondrules. There are dark grey areas set in a lighter grey matrix. There is some visible oxidation on the cut face where there is presumably some metal, although I can't see it easily. This pieces weighs 14 grams. I am guessing it might be some kind of L6 or LL6, although it would be great if it was an achondrite. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/odd-2.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/odd-3.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/odd-1.jpg Best regards, MikeG On 3/5/10, Meteorites USA e...@meteoritesusa.com wrote: Higher resolution images of Stone #1 has been uploaded to the page: Exterior - http://www.meteoritesusa.com/images/odd-stone-1-hires.jpg Interior - http://www.meteoritesusa.com/images/odd-stone-1a-hires.jpg Metal? - http://www.meteoritesusa.com/images/odd-stone-1b-hires.jpg I've also added Stone #2 to the page as well: Scroll down the page for photos of this meteorite.

[meteorite-list] odd stone, Baltimore area
Hi all, Through our DMS website we got a mail including the following text: This sounds totally crazy, but I think I might have found a meteorite. The other night there were reported Meteor Showers in the Baltimore area. The next day my car window was smashed and lying on my seat was a small stone less than one inch in size. There appears to be small crystals imbedded in the stone. The car was parked in a remote area where, and based on the size of the stone there is no way that a person could have thrown it at a car window and totally smashed it. People I work with say I'm out of my mind, that if it were a meteor it would have gone right through the car, etc. But I just don't have any other explanation for this broken window and a mysterious stone the night after meteor showers were reported in the area. Please advise what I need to do or where I need to go to determine whether this stone might me a meteor. While this does not quite sound like a meteorite to me: anyone in the Baltimore area willing to contact this person and check it out? Contact me off-list for contact details. - Marco -- Marco Langbroek Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek weblog: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/iss_log.html -- __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
