Jason,
We met last year in Tucson. It was Sunday morning over at the Meteorite Man's
room...the day you and your partner loaded that big chondrite into a small car
going west. Did Rob ever give that thing up?Anyway...

Jonathan Gore's response on this issue explains why the word "orientated"
doesn't seem correct usage with us Americans. Like Mike and Rob, my brain
automatically labels it as incorrect when I read it even though it is
considered interchangeable with "oriented."

Hello All,
Well, Lets see...
O. Richard Norton refers to Adamana as "oriented" in "Rocks From
Space." (2nd edition).
H. H. Nininger refers to Glen Rose as "oriented" in "Find a Falling Star."
and lastly,
Vagn F. Buchwald refers to Cabin Creek in his "Handbook of Iron Meteorites"
(book 2, meteorite
Well,
The Orientated form should only be used in the word "Orientation ".I dont
think Orientated is even a word. Even though a few on the list use that form
Oriented is the proper way to describe a meteorite that had a stablized
flight path.
Just my 2 cents

H, I hate to be proven wrong, but if the shoe fits To me though,
that word sounds absolutely stupid.
I'll stick with oriented.

Have to agree with Mike on this one -- "orientated" has an awful
sound to it. I flinch nearly as much when I see that word as I do
reading "proof" when "prove" is meant, and "prove" when "proof" is
meant (how do people confuse the two?)
So that this post is somewhat more meteorite-related, I note
Hi, Jason, and All,
Half right. Way too light to be iron, but way too heavy to be stone
(with densities generally below 3). But if you mix roughly equal volumes
of iron (at 7-8) with stone (at 3 or so), you get an object in the 4.5 to
5.5 density range. Good examples are the Earth or the plane
Robert, there is no such word as orientated. I have seen it too, never knew
where people got that word from.

Hello Rob and All,
In Response to this:

>Rob [Matson]
A mesosiderite or pallasite seems pretty improbable -- if the density
of iron is 7.874g/cm
Hello allI would have thought that Bob and Mike were right on this,
but I was surprised to find the word "orientated" in Webster's New
Unabridged Dictionary, being defined as being synonymous with "oriented".
