I just recently recieved a stone that looks very similar to one in the pictures
at that link... perhaps they are the same?

I currently have a nice sized .75 pound Odessa meteorite.
It is covered in rust.
Doed anyone want to try cleaning it up?
What would be the charge to clean it up so it would be

It is the largest iron that I have.

Greg,
I was going to send some pics but the posting from Gary Fujihara

What is really interesting is that there are very thin black shock veins

on it soon. There is still high interest in this stuff and I too want

Hi Erik:
If memory serves, the original reason that G. P. Kuiper proposed the
existance of the [Edgeworth] Kuiper Belt was as a source of comets with
relatively short period (under a hundred years or so?) comets.
So, if you believe that some meteorites ocme from comets, then these

In most hypervelocity impacts the binding forces between atoms are broken,
energy freed, and the resulting plasma recondenses into spherules.
In some of the largest hyper-velocity impacts nuclear biding forces appear to
be broken, freeing neutrons and protons to formm 14C and 10Be

coarse grit for 6 days now - tomorrow night I will open the barrel,

We have bollides, and then we have meteorite searches. In the case of
carbonaceous chondrites, recoveries after bollides are pretty small, from what
I've seen here.
We also have about 13 multi-kiloton upper atmosphere airbursts per year
observed by early warning sats. Regular

Does anyone know if any meteorites on Earth are linked
to the Kuiper Belt Objects?
or is that too far away for a material to travel all the way to
Earth? or would Jupiter trap any parent bodies traveling past it?

That said, I wonder what the circumstances of the recovery of the Bonita
