2011-04-21 Thread Carl Agee
My take on this is the following. Most people who come to us with a suspect meteorite are for some reason expecting that identification costs us nothing, and that we can glance at sample and give quick answer. So when they go to an average geology department and get a free meteorite screening they

I could not agree more. People often forget that there is considerable costs involved in characterizing real meteorites and for some reason they expect this service for free. Meteorite-wrongs tie up a lot of resources and are a drag on the few laboratories that are qualified to study real

Marcin There is nothing about this meteorite that suggests meteorwrong. solid iron, no cracks, no holes. Just a guy who likely has never seen a meteorite declaring that it was not a meteorite. It seems most geologists dont know a thing about meteorites. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone On
