Lengthy caveat: I believe I told some folks from Wisconsin there weren't any volcanoes near there but, some recent rock hound reports have claimed to have found Lava. Be it remembered that the northern Midwest USA and Southern Canada were scraped flat several times over, any above ground basal/ash was sent south. Any ash was mixed in with the prairie loess and could have been mistaken for ash from the Great Western Basin such as was deposited in the Dakota Badlands. So the object in question is not likely native to the FWD Metroplex. You asked any suggestions? have a lab look at it at this point. One final caution.. To my further recall, the nickel test kits widely available via ebay can render a false positive in the presence of iron so its utility in testing for meteorities is possibly unreliable Elton __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Puturano
Hi List, Does anybody have any information on Puturanos? I have a specimen a gentlemen sent mefor a simpleanaylsisand it's passed the primary tests of Magnetisim Nickel content.(What now?) Jugding from it's apperance it looks exacelty like a Puturano, but not from Russia. This sample comes from Imperial , Tx up near Dallas. Geologicaly speakingwas this area volcanic in prehistoric times? Not much in the way of mountains, the area is a vast prairie with rolling hills and meadows currently. The gentlemen found all the material (about 1 lb)in one specific location.Any suggestions? Thanks, Tim Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now
