Hi Greg and List,
I have a meteorwrong collection that is slowly growing. The only
notable wrong that I am missing is Shirokovsky.
Most of my wrongs turned up in large bulk shipments of unclassified

most of them last year.

This is the most realistic wrong on the planet. It has metal,

One of my favorite "meteorwrongs" appeared not too long ago on eBay by
someone selling what he thought was a meteorite. He said he found it at a
flea market and kept it in a shoe box for years. He stated with absolute
certainty that it's a meteorite because it's round, black, and NOT magnetic!

It would seem to me that the "meteorwrong" list makes quite a few generalizations that may or may not be exactly correct. The LeBennes showed me a meteorite last year that had perfectly round nickel/iron spheres. I'm not sure what it was called, does anyone know?
Thanks,
