Uncle Ron Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yo All...Hunting a small gully for gold today, I found another whole Wickenburg meteorite... Small, only 20.9 grams but in great condition...Found it in a gully, but it looks like the others I found on the hillsides and ridges...I'm getting a definite feel for the direction of the strewnfield and I have to say it's not indicating towards where the supposed two original old (1930-1940) finds were supposed to have been made, by a longshot ... It's exactly like the others, with good olivine and small nickel/iron chondrules...Here's some pix on the next post...For some reason it won't let me combine photos with this post...Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regmaglitch Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi Ron, Congrats on your newest W-Burg find. That means a fairly steady distribution for a surprising distance. It's a decent sized strewnfield. That stone is weathered but, definately an individual. Kinda oriented too. I'd love to see the other side of it. Nice score Ron!

Jeff Pike Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nice Find!Even better, your interpretation of the strewnfield... Prospectors always seem to have a better feel for areas than drive-by-geologist-types in my humble opinionJeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
