Do freshly fallen irons and stony-irons, have any kind of crust on them? if they
do, what does the crust typically look like on these meteorites?

Hi folks,
I've added a new article to my site, dealing with the ancient Greek meteorite
fall of around 465 BC. A stone the size of a wagon load fell, and was a
tourist attraction for at least 500 years.

Eric,
Since your a new comer to the meteorite business and this list, I'll explain
this to you one time. First, the list has always been self policing. In the
old days I believe it was a bit more so. When we had people like you did,
scold scollars who's input on the list was well respected,

I made a webpage (including macro and microscope photos) to answer this
question some time ago:

are more than worth a visit:

Hi Greg S,
I have a few wrongs that I use for educational purposes at
outreach/fundraising events. It's nice to be able to show examples of why
testing possible meteorites by a qualified lab is so important, as opposed
to trying to ID it by sight only.
I also stress being careful of wild
Hi List,
I have built up a collection of wrongs by chance. Over the years,
when I'd find a wrong in a batch of unclassifieds, I'd toss it into a
box. Now I have a box full of weird rocks that I can bring myself to
toss out. Maybe one of them will turn out to be something rare one
day.
