Greetings Mr. Robert Verish and Fellow Meteorite
Enthusiasts!

My attention, too, was drawn to the rusting on an
otherwise beautiful meteorite. Is that what becomes
of them stranded in such a climate, or are we dealing
with an extremely weather-challenged rock? Does
someone know if Pribram is a "ruster"?

I have recently taken a look at a picture of the
Pribram H5 chondrite. I must say, there does appear
to be some similarities!

However, a thought, although unlikely, has been
nudging my noodle. Is there the slightest chance that
possibly, just possibly, the "Neuschwanstein" space
rock represents a different fall, not related to that
of the famous early April fireball(s)?

Long strewn fields!
