Re: Oriented Pasamonte
Michael and list,
In Nininger's book Out of the Sky on page 169 he discusses atmosphere as a shaping
agent and gives several specific meteorites as examples, Plainview and Chupaderos
have been fragmented and crusted and still fit together. There is a picture of
the Plainview meteorite in Nininger's The Nininger Collection Of Meteorites
1950. It is on Plate XXX #1. There is a picture of a Arriba meteorite that was
found in two pieces about a 1/4 mile apart and has been glued together. It is on
Plate XXVI #9. Also in Nininger's book of his collection he only lists Plainview
#92j and 92k as complementary, but under Pasamonte he only lists one individual as
oriented (197bb), but does list 197.84 as Individual, repaired 130grms.
Michael, I hope this helps.
