Hi Don and List,
Some years ago someone (I think it was Jim Strope) coined the word
flight-marked as opposed to flight oriented and you might thus call
your specimen flight-marked if it fits into that category unless it
meets all the requirements Mike Farmer mentioned in his post!
Cheers,
Bernd
I have been collecting meteorites with wings. realy hard to find they are. the
meteorite has to be spinning very fast to ablate a wing. they usualy end up
looking like a bent up boat propeller.

Yes, i see a lot of flight-marked meteorites that wouldn't qualify as truly

Hi Jason,
you're often too hasty (and somewhat egocentric) to discuss a simple
argumentation soberly.
I say nothing else than
that the advertisings of your material, in particular of your unclassified
alleged NWA 7034-pairing and the unclassified supposed NWA 2975 pairings,
are misleading or at

I think it's outgassing from the materials used to make the boxes.
But I cannot explain why some boxes become cloudy and others do not.

especially a lower collector's (and therefore monetary)
value.
