Regmaglitch Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hey Canadian Gold, This stone looks like a urelite in the close-up photo where it has been cleaned. Looks to have lotsof olivine and pyroxene, plus it's got that greenish color. Great story, thanks for the link. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desertsunburn Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Rob Ward posted a picture of himself over there! And someone posted some white guy is over there handing out business cards offering to buy any found. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regmaglitch Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi Jim, Yeah, if some round-eye is passing out business cards over there, it could definitely could be RobertWard. He's a real globe-trotter when it comes to meteorites. Did you see he was featured in the November2013 issue of Popular mechanics?
