Hi, List - Thanks very much for your suggestions, on and off list, about the liquidation meteorites that might be CD. I saw the two masses today, and they definitely are irons, and look a whole lot like Canyon Diablo. One has a 2" long tubular hole through it! Both have spots of what looks like caliche. They were wire-brushed and maybe oiled too, so their surfaces are not quite natural. I'm going to do some quick chemical analyses of the rust and the caliche, and compare them with same from a small sample of (real) CD here. But I don't have any Odessa or Toluca for comparison. Could any of you spare a bit of rust and sand or caliche off your Odessa or Toluca? Thanks very much.
