Elton,
There is a write-up on Sardis that was on the Georgia Mineral Newsletter,
Volume IX, No. 4, Winter 1956 (part 1) and Volume X, No. 4, Winter 1957
titled "Meteorites in Georgia" by E. P. Henderson and A. S. Furcron. (There
are also reprint of the document from 1966). From the Department

Hello Elton, All,
Hardly; I just think it's stupid to rule any sample out completely
without a lab analysis.
There's no single feature on the stone being auctioned that would
suggest that it is not, in fact, a fresh mesosiderite individual, and
seeing as I am as qualified as you, if not better, to

Hi Folks! :)
Recently there was renewed discussion about what
exactly should be described as "flow lines" or
"orientation" - and several examples were offered
that depicted orientation/flow (or lack of).
With that in mind, I ran across this today :

At first, I took this to be some kind of April Fool's

no geological reports, no shattercones on the market,
