Re: [meteorite-list] To Answer Steve's Question
Hola All, I've seen a few examples, and one is viewable online (it's for sale, oddly enough) on Marcin's Gao page: http://www.gao-guenie.com/gao_oriented.htm If you scroll down a bit, it's on the right side - it's hard to miss the HOLE note in the photograph - click for better pics. It looks like the thick fusion crust on the trailing edge of the stone formed a natural bridge between two protuberances.

Very nice John.

Re: [meteorite-list] To Answer Steve's Question
Answering both Steves at once. The Nuevo Mercurio that meteorite men Steve mention is now in my collection. But it's not 25g, it's a little under 8g. It has a hole about 2x1mm. I also remember a tricky holed meteorite: some D'Orbigny slices/framgments had holes made when gas bubbles were exposed on thin slices or fragments. best regards Eduardo -Original Message- From: meteorh...@aol.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:20:17 EDT Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] To Answer Steve's Question Dr. King had a Nuevo Mercurio in his collection, about 25 grams in size, that had a hole in it.

Hi again In Argentina there is also a town called Sierra de la Ventana (Hill of the Window). It's name is for a natural terrestrial hole in a nearby Hill.

Re: [meteorite-list] To Answer Steve's Question
Hi Anita, Good call! Out of over a ton of unclassified stony meteorites I have only one with a natural hole. It is 172 gr unclassified and has been cut. I purchased it cut and never obtained the other slice. So you might say I just got the hole. I have had some others with holes but it was fairly clear the hole was due to weathering out of material so I don't count those. Tom In a message dated 8/22/2009 9:04:45 P.M.
