Strapped Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Went out to Holbrook this week since they wouldn't let me onto the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation . I found this small .43 gram meteorite with the broken fusion crust. I also found this other interesting rock. Its .29 grams, very attracted to a magnet, and has two small green crystals. Peridot I think. Wish they were olivine chondrules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strapped Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Fred, I was out there by myself and I only took one picture. Saw a big Antelope on Sun Valley road this morning. My only field pic. Thanks again to you and Mike for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strapped Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 On Monday late afternoon it was hot (low 90s) but there was a steady breeze that made it nice. Lots of smoke from the fires south of Flagstaff. Tuesday morning was nice early. Got into the 90s quickly and I was pestered by flies.
