Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Neuschwanstein--First Find Photo and SALE
Dear Gentlemen; I hate to rain on your parade but being from Wyoming where the bucking horse is on our state seal, on a bunch of license plates for a zillion years of our history, well, that is a pile of equine road apples, not a pile of meteorites! Reminds me of the Holbrook dilemma, try taste testing them there carbonaceous varmints! Best laugh of the day, Dave F. mjwy @ ebay, auctions running on all sorts of stuff including a new Wyoming fulgurite.

Re: [meteorite-list] Re: Neuschwanstein--First Find Photo and SALE
Great news, Elton, I must have the largest fully crusted individual of these new swan stones. Please tell me the total price including shipping costs back to Germany. This piece will be nice present for the Geology Professor from Munich, who wasn't able to distinquish between a piece of bitumen and a meteorite. Then he has a piece to study how real meteorites look like. Btw, was is difficult to prevent your meteorites from falling into pieces? Kind regards Dieter - Original Message - From: E. L.
