Hi Norbert, you're not telling the truth :-) Once I took a shale piece from you and when I cut it, a tiny elongated grain of pure metal appeared, 3mm long, less then half a mm wide. First I thought, what for a poor quality blade I had, that parts of it got loose, but when I grinded the cut surface, it turned out to belong to the shale ball.
Buckleboo! Martin PS: who falls for a spam mail for the hundredth time. Gosh "Corel Draw" sounds to me like a typical American meteorite name...seigh. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von ROCKS ON FIRE Gesendet: Freitag, 19.

Cc: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Betreff: Re: [meteorite-list] wolf creek meteorite Hello, List and Steve, VERY small pieces, penny size and smaller, have been collected from smashed large shale balls (about 25 kg+). And apparently the Washington US Nat. Museum has got a 62g piece of unaltered Wolfe Creek iron among its 350 kg total. That is all what I am aware. A friend of mine has got a very small thin slice of Wolf Creek iron. Here is a metallurgical microscope picture of it: http://images.andale.com/f2/113/103/4948211/1148519943072_WolfCk10.jpg I have never come across any unaltered iron from Wolfe Creek here in Australia. However, there are rumors that some fragments of unaltered iron have been found on the surface, approx. 8 km SW of the crater. I would not bet my 2 Ozzie cents on this.
