Very nice Mark. Curiously my specimen is quite black within, but does show heavy weathering on the two outer edges of surface. Perhaps the dark black nature of my specimen is due to its small size and was cut from an area of deep black matrix. Gary On 14 Jan 2007 at 23:24, MARK BOSTICK

Hello Bob, That Thunda micro is quite unusual. What do you know of its composition? I see it is classified IIIAB, but is that silica surrounding the iron core? Graphite? Nice pic. Can't wait to see more. gary http://www.meteorite-dealers.com On 15 Jan 2007 at 22:51, Bob WALKER wrote:

Hi Darren, Regarding the Villalbeto de la Pena meteorite paper, I thing the Seller mirko66 was quite explicit about offering a paper. Also, having personally dealt with the Seller, I am sure if someone bid up a paper to the value of what the main mass would be worth (1.4 kg), he would not force
