If someone with the equipment will cut me a one inch long, quarter inch square piece of either an Odessa, Nantan, Gibeon, Sikhote Alin, or Campo, then I shall retire to my laboratory and conduct the requisite experiments to answer, hopefully, the question at hand. Pete

Hello Mike, ~92% of all meteorites are magnetic; all irons, all stony irons, and nearly all stones are magnetic. The only meteorites that are not magnetic would be the HED's (some of these are slightly magentic), as well as Aubrites (though some of these contain iron as well), planetary meteorites

Hi Ken, Jerry, List, I have seen pieces of man-made iron and pieces of magnetite become slightly magnetic after being exposed to the supermagnet I use to hunt with. Although, I have not seen either become what I would call magnets afterwards. I have something a little different and am

I am new to the list. I've been reading the list for about a month now. I just wanted to weigh in on the magnetic meteorite. I am a retired Electronics Engineer, so this is somewhat in my field of expertise. From what I know, when you say all meteorites are magnetic, what you mean is the

With all due respect Steve You claimed that your new meteorite is very magnetic. That's about as annoying as the oriented - orientated debate. From what I understand Magnetic means having the properties of a magnet. Does your new meteorite attract Iron like a magnet? Probably not

Steve, you're fine. Generally with meteorites the more strongly magnetic the specimen the more iron metal. There are some many uses of the word magnetic in exactly the way you use it, in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites that it sounds like you might be able to give Bob Evans some
