[meteorite-list] Campo Crystals

Hi All, I suspect that the smoothed/melted look on Campo crystals is created in a rock tumbler. After the mass has been reduced to fragments each individual should be extremely sharp; I expect they get tumbled, perhaps with ball bearings, to round off the points and sharp edges and make them safe

[meteorite-list] Questionable Bediasites on ebay

Greetings list, I have noted a couple of recent ebay listings for Bediasite that appear fraudulent. They look like Indochinites. I contacted the seller, "lonestar*meteorites", to ask for more images of his Bediasite inventory during the first listing. This query was met with anger. Now a second l

[meteorite-list] Bediasites agree with Steve's unproven tektite theory

Hi list, Bediasites are well known for, among other things, these two traits: 1.Most Bediasites show ample evidence of abrasive transport and minor to severe smoothing of the surface. 2.Bediasites are found in/on the basal portion of the Manning unit of the Jackson formation in Texas. They are

In 1983 I was eastbound out of Austin,TX on a winter's night. As I left the city's light halo I began to notice a pulsing pink/orange light stretching for miles above the eastern horizon. As I advanced for the next 30 miles the light became brighter and higher in the sky and the flicker became mo

[meteorite-list] Gold in tektites

[meteorite-list] Zapotectite- what kinda name is that?

In my previous post I referred to the new tektites from Belize as" Zapotectites". Geologist Jean Cornec is the one that perhaps should name them as his unpublished paper and its appearance on a website is the start of the new strewnfield's recognition. I noticed the paper about a month after post
