Hi Bernd and all. This pic of the day prompted me to take a look at my NWA
2624 slice again. Stunning meteorite!

Does anyone know if any other Ureilites have been found with pyroxene
megacrysts like this?
Cheers,
Jeff

I just emailed them about two photos that were incorrect (Ness County

the correct pictures soon.
I also wish they would just use the correct approved names for the meteorites.

Something like

many decades to indicate it is of meteoritic origin. Such as having a fusion

I always tell people that a particular found meteorite has the same

that have been carefully studied by science. We know those came from
outer space. And this one in my hand matches those.

A response you could give in a friendly way is, why is it that you don't
think it is a meteorite? Then go on with many of the tests that show

is), tests positive for nickel (certain classes), has fusion or

I usually get that question when I'm talking about Lunar or Martian

compare what we've found on earth with what was collected on the moon.

My answer is very simple - we don't know until a reputable lab says
so.
If the questioner has need for further response I am glad to do so by

I think that's a little extreme. There are certainly questionable
meteorites that need expert analysis, but most meteorites can be
identified as such with essentially 100% certainty by nearly anybody

Hey Armando,
I see no reason, why selling hamburgers should exclude a profound scientific

I know a man, who once lost his work and income as a formerly employed
physicist in a company, and started his own small business as a barbecue grill
owner, with a small van and his own business name creation EINSTEIN-Grill on

Shouldn't that be the other war around?
If everyone gave the newbie a meteorite, then he would
have a nice starter collection.

Congrats!

Given the fall of the US dollar against the Euro, it

I agree Chris. It is when it leaves the common chondrite class that
gets more tricky to do a field examination to identify what should have
lab work.
I follow the philosophy that a field examination should not try to
identify a specimen as a meteorite, so much as try to exclude it. If I
