[meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #7 - Free 2.3g Tatahoine
Hi Mark and List, The wildest/strangest and funniest thing that I ever heard after having shown my meteorites to someone came from my niece, who commented; Those black ones came out really ugly. Want me to paint them a prettier color for you?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #7 - Free 2.3g Tatahoine (Help forRafael!)
Hello Everyone¡Im still having problems with my account, I sent 2 mails to the list, but they are not arriving¡¡¡, I hope this will do¡...First of all I want to thanks to all that have replied my mails helping with my questions And second I want to make my entry for the contest: I went to a small town near here and I had my Canyon Diablo with me, so I saw a rock shop and there was this man selling rocks, I showed him the meteorite and told him that it was a meteorite, so he could look for anything like that in his stock of rocks. He saw it and as if meteorites were very common and as if he had seen many of them he said: Sure thats a meteorite, I have a big one in my backyard¡¡¡, about a hundred kilos I was surprised for the unsual answer. But of course he took me to the backyard just to find out that he had a huge piece of hematite or magnetite. I spent the next minutes trying to explain him that it was not a meteorite, but for him its still a meteorite that worths several thousand pesos¡. Another time I had my Gao with me in the school and I decided to take it to my Chemestry teacher, I told him that the meteorite was fresh with a nice fusion crust, I told that I bought it from the internet. He looked at it carefuly and said: How much was that?: they robbed you, its not a meteorite...meteorites are always round and heavy. He showed me several meteorites he had, but it was just hematite¡, he told me he bought those in the place where they fell (Zona del Silencio) and that they were pretty cheap around $2 each individual. Since then Ive been trying to explain him that those are just meteorwrongs, but he doesnt pay attention, and one more time he thinks he has the real meteorites. As you can see around here there are a lot of meteorwrongs and the education around here says that those are meteorites from la Zona del Silencio, actually you can find thousands of them around here and everyone here has several of them, so most people here in my city have a meteorite¡¡¡(Hows that?)but of course its just hematiteBut they think they are meteorites¡Meteorites are a common rock here¡¡¡ =0) Rafael B.

Hello List- One of my first meteorites I purchased was Saratov. When I proudly showed it to my wife- her first comment was: Why would you buy that? I can get you all you want from our driveway!

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Contest #7 - Free 2.3g Tatahoine
Having been a National Park Service ranger at Sunset Crater Volcano for many years one of the things that got very old was the confusion between Meteor Crater and Sunset Crater Often we would be asked, Where is the crater? and how was that mountain (the volcano) formed by a meteor? No relation-- obviously... Well, one day after who knows how many questions as to where is the meteor crater... I got this from one visitor. Is this place where the volcano hit and formed a huge crater a mile wide... Needless to say, I roared out laughing, after experiencing years of the Sunset-Meteor Crater confusion The visitor was straight faced, not comprehending my amusement.

Wow Steve.. I was out at Sunset a few years ago.. Beautiful. It is a volcano.. Meteor crater is a hole in the ground... but can be seen from a distance of a few miles. How do they mix them up?

As for what Contest #7 is about, read the following e-mail sent by Mark Bostick to hep clear things up regarding that matter. I hope it will be of some help for you and possibly others. Hello All, Sorry about that. i wrote the e-mail and cut and paste the Mikes response. But I sent it before I did so. I then resent the corrected, but it didnt show up. The list is funny sometimes. Any...here was Mike's entry. Thanks again, Mark Hi Mark: My entry... for contest #7: When you have shown someone your meteorite(s), what's the wildest/strangest comment or question you've been asked?

Hi Mark and List, Re: Meteorite Contest # 7. The wildest comment came to me some years ago, when I asked my wife what she would do my metorite collection, if and when I kicked the bucket and went to the great strewnfield in the sky. She replied without blinking an eye, I suppose they would look nice in a rock garden. Yipes! After that, I changed my willdonating the entire collection to the Kalamazoo Michigan, (where I grew up) Planetarium / Museum. ...a rock garden...(sigh) Best, Steven L.
