Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite or meteowrong
Hi all, I have been watching these auctions closely. In my humble opinion these are quite clearly meteorites, I was also guessing Canyon Diablo or Odessa. The biggest one was nicely sculpted and had classic scoops where softer material had ablated/weathered away. Most of the pieces were badly cracked and weathered, but there were two (ending earlier today) that I was hoping to bid on. It seems the seller ended the listings prematurely, perhaps got cold feet when yesterday's auctions went for less than they were expecting. I noticed that the three auctions yesterday and also the one linked by Mike below were won by the same person, likely a dealer. Anyone on this list? Regards, Jack On 6/11/18 2:38 am, Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list wrote: Hi Michael and List, Those iron-ish specimens remind me of caliche-covered Diablos or Odessas. Some of those look legit, but would likely require testing to confirm (especially if the paperwork or notes from the original owner is no longer extant). Apparently somebody else thinks they might be meteorites, because the lots are attracting multiple bids. The seller has a lot of interesting "junk store" type of items up for sale (including an entire thrift store in Sarasota Florida). Maybe a list member close to that area could go take a look in person.

(Estate seller not meteorite pro, not confident where its from, images not great, one cut into a point which looks metalic but not many irons from proposed likely area) But something in me is drawn to gamble on this likely meteowrong. Thoughts on probability of being an actual meteorite. I am newish and my run ins are with prepared material, not sure if this is outside the realm of look for what an uncleaned iron that has been bagged for a long time would look like, heavy iron shale exterior and caliche look like that? __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
