Hello Jeff and All,
If it is somewhat greenish it could be epidote and we find similar looking
specimens in AZ quite often. It is hard to tell from a photo, but the
crystal structure looks right.

What's this wrong?
G'day List,
I had this photo sent to me which is obviously a
Jeff, all,
I fully agree with Jason. This is a cluster of pyrite crystals, probably
(partly) transformed (oxidyzed) into limonite (a partial pseudomorph),
hence the color.
Clusters like that one are common on our mineral collections. They can be
sometimes showy and thus quite appreciated.
But

meteorite ? Maybe Mark Bostick can help as a specialist of Kansas
meteorites?
Thanks for your kind note. I am not for sure if I qualify as a specialist
yet, perhaps, a historian with good research
Jeff and list,
I agree with Jason and Zelimir, it is a pyrite nodule.

Hi Mark, Pierre-Marie, list
As I just wrote to Pierre-Marie a few minutes ago, I have in my colelction
a 80.51 g Morland end section (available for Pierre-Marie photographic
archives) and I told him it carries the numbers (on label) 2801, 1294
(Buddhue coll.) and M 334.1 (Monnig).

Light hearted question and a bit of word fun,
Someone has just asked me an interesting question, what do you call a
'potential meteorite' that is not yet a 'meteoright' or a 'meteorwrong'
After a couple of minutes with a theasaurus : Some idea's:
Meteormaybe
Meteorcouldbe
Meteormightbe
Ha wonderful!!
... A bit of optimism that's what I like!

Very clever. My favorite was meteormightbe, but
what about shortening that down to an even more
meteorite-sounding-name of just simply meteormight?
You'd have your meteorite, and a meteormight.

One of my favorite meteorwrongs appeared not too long ago on eBay by
someone selling what he thought was a meteorite. He said he found it at a
flea market and kept it in a shoe box for years. He stated with absolute
certainty that it's a meteorite because it's round, black, and NOT magnetic!

Hi Manoj,

No, Manoj, as you may have already surmised, this does
not help at all. You should advise your legal
advisor to go back and research this some more.
Until then, the advice you were given should only be

Hi Bob and list.
My main point is that even legal terms are defined by
common usage, and the common usage of meteorwrong
isn't applied to everything that isn't properly
classified.

largest supplier of meteor-wrongs, I don't

To the best of my knowledge the first appearance of
the word meteor-wrong in print was in a monthly
periodical published by the Chicago Field Museum.
(Title: Meteor-wrongs ?)
( date: ~1964 ?)

Pardon my add, I have listed a 66 gram, amazingly accurate looking

Feel free to save the pictures of this amazing copy of the real thing.
No affinity to a magnet. Nice maganese faux-fusion crust coating.

I have just listed the entire mass of NWA 2633, a CO3.1 carbonaceous

I thought this rock was NWA869. It's supposed to be from New Mexico. Not
magnetic, no magnetic susceptibility.
