Yes,
Of course the purpose of such paintings was not to depict the themes in a
realistic or historical manner - but they are certainly more than just a
transfer or translation of a topic, a story, in the present time of the
painter.
For example in that picture you see all at once.

Hi Jim
Interesting object. It reminds me of a piece of bomb shrapnel. It does not
appear to be a meteorite, but maybe you could remove a tiny piece and do a
nickel test.

The photo caption says it's not magnetic and is very light. So
chances are (combined with the appearance), it's not a meteorite.
It's an interesting little piece of metal that probably has a good
story behind it, but I think it's terrestrial.

Considering that it is light like aluminum, maybe it is a piece of
melted aluminum?
Why try to make things more complicated than they are?

Northern Ireland has 2 approved mets -
Bovedy (L3 fall 1969)

Ireland, in addition to the 2 for Northern Ireland - that makes a
total of 7.

Michael,
Bovedy is in Northern Ireland, not Ireland, they're different countries.
There are 6 official Fightin' Irish meteorites. (Plus 2 from Northern
Ireland), though one of the 6 is from Ulster. ( What the Unionists call NI).
The first was the observed fall of Pettiswood in 1779. It's an
MikeG,
You're right all the Irish meteorites are observed falls. What are the
chances of 3 unpaired observed H5 falls all occurring in Munster Ireland in
1810, 1813, and again in 1865? Sounds incredible.

If by wrong, you mean illegal, then I would agree with you.

There is nothing illegal about the way Carl found it, Just cuz
somebody makes the first find, no matter who it is does not own the

Hi List,
I cut open 2 more oddball UNWA stones today.
One had relatively fresh black crust and weighed 10 grams before I cut
it. I was pleasantly surprised to see 2 distinct zones within the

uniformly distributed across both zones,
Nice picture.
Glad I had an opportunity to see it. Love the crystals.
