Hi,
I find the stones listed in the Catalogue of Meteorites
as "pseudometeorites" to be sometimes of interest.
Bleckenstad (Sweden) is discussed in this List Posting
from 2003, where three cases of sedimentary meteorites
are thrown up by yours truly:

Here is my attempt to give a short answer based on very little information on
what they found, but comparing this to what we have seen from Stardust and
what has been collected in the past.

Hi Larry,
Thank you for the response. What you say makes sense but the way it was
presented in the article was not clear to me. They use the term comet dust
when maybe they should have said a mixture of Interplanetary Dust Particles
among other things. They also use the term pristine when maybe

Here's a blow-up of the meteorite. It isn't high on detail, but I'm wondering

What are the steps that a lab takes to classify a meteorite? Are there any
simple guidelines that we can use to get in the ballpark.
An example. I cut and polish opals. We have charts to gauge the matrix

different kinds

But they are expensive - see:

Pretty funny Martin.

No, it was only a joke,
But to explain the criteria for the different types --- people wrote whole

So an answer would be somewhat extremely long.
Hence more simple it would be to read Norton's book,

“price of $12,500 is a deal indeed. Even a

And the have all paperwork.
