It is a real meteorite, the black is not fusion crust, but rather exposed shock veins. Very interesting meteorite, and not much will be found. FORGET about getting crater material, it has been more than two weeks in horrible water that people are urinating in for fun! The meteorite is very fragile, very porous, and will be rotted out already. I spoke with the landowner, who was our driver for days, and he told me that no more than 20-30 kilos was found and most was taken by tourists and locals. We managed to get some pieces in town from people who had picked them up, and we all found pieces ourselves with metal detectors. I found a metal nodule more than 1 cm, weighing 6 grams. Very interesting. I think it is an H5. Michael Farmer Any labs or scientists on this list who want samples, email me, I will gladly provide. Mike --- Darren Garrison <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
