Hi Paul: that plant sounds like it was harvested from the planet in "The Way to 
Eden"
(Star Trek original series, season 3)... ;-)  --Rob

[meteorite-list] Wolfsegg Iron?

2018-07-02 Thread Yinan Wang via Meteorite-list
Hi List,

Was just reading about an interesting object found in Lignite
(essentially coal) in Austria in 1885.

Initially thought to be a meteorite, then ruled out, but I don't see
the actual references for that.

Looks very interesting:

[meteorite-list] Looking for Someone to Etch my 50mm Sikhote Alin Sphere

2018-07-02 Thread David Deyarmin via Meteorite-list
I sent Dmitry 3 sphere roughs last February - Bondoc Mesosiderite, NWA 8529
H6 and Sikhote Alin

 

I just receive the final sphere which was the SA and the etch was good but I
was hoping to get more contrast but no matter what I do I can't seem to make
it work.

 

I'm not sure if it is just the nature of this material of the spherical cut
of the granular planes or my lack of experience etching Sikhote Alin

 

If anyone in the USA is interested in trying to etch it better send an email
to bobad...@ec.rr.com

 

 

Of if you have some tip please reply to the post.

 

Thanks
