Re: [meteorite-list] FW: Illinois meteorite
I would like to make a profound announcement (out of character for me?). Why don't all list members from Illinois NOT let us know when they have an object that is not scientifically classified until the rock comes back as a REAL METEORITE.If I brought it to the list each time someone brought me a meteorwrong, you would be bombarded weekly with a meteorwrong announcement. I am quite sure that on a week to week basis, we would collectively receive around fifty or more meteorwrong suspected meteorite announcements if we all reported every rock that some joker brought to a list member hoping it was a meteorite. Please do not post to the list each time someone brings you a meteorwrong that hasn't been tested. It wastes all of our time.

The man who found the piece simply found it in his backyard while he was moving soil. He brought it to a rock shop because he thought it may be a meteorite. He is NOT claiming that it fell through his roof, crashed through a window or anything like that. The only reason that I told him it could be a meteorite and that it was worth testing is that it appears to have crust. So, please relax. This no scam, no hoax, nothing of the sort.

Re: [meteorite-list] FW: Illinois meteorite
Elton, All, Oh, give it a rest - read the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites, page 54, first paragraph. ...Every writer that I know of has stated that irons do possess fusion crusts - Buchwald, Nininger, Norton, the list goes on. Hell, I would've thought that the pictures of Tim Heitz's Chilean iron would have shown youin case you haven't seen them, here: http://www.meteorman.org/Oriented.htm In any case, do what you want - hold your ground, etc - but I wouldn't expect anyone to believe you when you claim to know better than these such well regarded researchers in the field of meteoritics. We know you don't think irons have fusion crusts. Just about everyone else does. Get over it. That said, I would say this object is probably not an iron meteorite, though I must say it's better looking than the last two iron 'meteorites' to come along.
