Hi Martin I agree that the shape is perfect to be a Canyon Diablo. But the caliche is way to spotty. When a CD is dug out is either covered in white caliche or scaly rust. There are some that have been sticking out of the ground that show that nice patina but I don't think they have the caliche. I

Hi all, I gotta agree with Mike, that's no Canyon Diablo. I think it looks more like Henbury or Gibeon. I'd never seen Gibeon with caliche till this year when I (once again) bought a few Gibeon individuals. I was surprised to find one with spotty caliche just like the oregon piece. Ruben

Yea I think it could be Gibeon, but that does not mean it is not an Oregon meteorite. It just means it resembles a Gibeon. Wouldn't take long to etch a small spot and see if it is a fine octahedrite pattern or not. On 2/17/07, Matt Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I go with Ruben...I have a
