Tom, Dave, and List;
Over the last several years I have been taking lots of photos of
various mineral specimens and a few meteorites I would like to pass
Hi Kris and list;
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but your iron meteorite
sure looks like a mill ball to me. I have a coffee can full of them
that look just like your picture. I got so excited finding those
little iron meteorites until I sent a couple of them off to the
university .
Tom, Sonny, and list;
Technically, I guess you are right Tom. However, it is not wise to encourage anyone search for meteorites on an active mining claim. I hold two gold claims and I tend to become annoyed if I see someone picking up rocks or searching with a metal detector.
I'm pretty mellow
Greetings John and list, I am so glad you explained what a leaverite is. All this time I've been carrying them home, sawing them in half and making myself nuts trying to find somthing in them that isn't there. I sure could have saved a lot of time and trouble if I had learned this sooner. By the
It is time for me to stir up some more controversy. From all I've seen, Park Forest really doesn't look like meteorite. Only the black parts seem to have fusion crust and it doesn't look as shiny and glazed as you would expect. The grey parts either don't have any crust at all, or it chipped away

members of this list are and how willing you are to share that knowledge.
Now, one more question. If I'm out collecting Apache Tears and I should
pick up a Tektite, how would I know the difference? If I happened to put
that
Greetings all,
Would any of you please explain the differences between Tektites and
Apache Tears. Apache Tears are rounded bits of smokey grey obsidian
(volcanic glass) found all over the Southwest US. They have a dull black
surface and often have perfect regmaglypts when found. To me this
Greetings to all.
I have been told that only one in one thousand rocks submitted to the
experts at the universities and other meteorite identification labs, turns
out to be an actual meteorite. If this is true, how can the hundreds of
uncut, unclassified rocks from northwest Africa be passed off
To any list members who may wish to have an immediate
analysis of possible meteoric material I recommend
sending your samples to the Center For Meteorite
Studies P.O. Box 872504, Tempe AZ 85287-2504.
I found some very weathered fragments last weekend in
the Gold Basin area of NW Arizona. On
