mbrown Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey guys,Here's my new find. A notable University has requested that I send them a sample after sharing photos with them. What do you think? I was told it could be a lunar, aubrite/entatite achondrite, HED, or possibly something new.Here's the link to my Picasa web album: https://picasaweb.go...feat=directlinkIt is possible to zoom in by using the magnifying glass button above center of the pictureMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrown Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I used a diamond blade wet saw to cut it. It's still a big IF, but on a good note in preliminary analyzation they have identified plagioclase feldspar. It will take months before I know one way or another however. Wish me luck!

Uncle Ron Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 How in the world did you i.d. it as a meteorite ... It looks just like the ultimate leaverite!!! ... Is it magnetic? How's the streak? I hope it turns out to be a good one ... Thanks for sharing all the photos ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
