Re: [meteorite-list] Is this GM ?

In my opinion, the contours are too pristine to be a Glorietta. Glorietta has been buried a very long time, and this piece certainly doesn't look that way. Taza is very characteristic in its external appearance...the soft ridges and curves...not what one sees on a Glorietta. One could

Hello all, Steve Schoner should be the one to comment on this item, but he must be out in the field or something. For what it's worth Glorieta Mountain comes in a variety of "flavors" (ie shapes, sizes, textures, weathering, etc.). I've included a link to Steve's Meteorite Picture Gallery
