Subject: [meteorite-list] Sikhote
Birthday + Favorite Photos
Hello list,
Around 10:30 in the mourning February 12, 1947 (57 years ago) in eastern
Siberia my favorite of all iron meteorites, fell to earth.
I have 6 original newspapers from the era transcribed on my
website.
And in the new few days, I will go through my archives more and see what
ones I do not have the site yet.
I thought I would also share my favorite Sikhote.
It is near not my largest but it was at one time one of my
first good sized irons and one of the early Sikhotes. Meaning the
Sikhotes that had the early treatment....I think they look better then the
present Sikhotes. (For they are all rust ball no doult).
The following four sikhotes are also some of my favorite
meteorites. Oriented meteorites are cool, and these four I purchased all
at one time at one of the Denver shows.
Perhaps others would like to share a photo of their favorite
Sikhote.
So I ask upon the list, What is your favorite Sikhote? Any cool
Sikhote stories? Who has the ugliest Sikhote? C'mon, we want to
see it.
