I know when I have found a possible meteorite, there is always great people out there willing to look at it, and give an opinion. Well I read an article on collecting micro meteorites. I thought my mother in-laws roof would be perfect for collecting micros. She has a large house that's about 40 years old and has a white pea-gravel roof. I figured it would act like a giant sluice box! <BR>So, I went up and dragged a magnet through the 1/2 inch deep gravel. I came up with some Interesting stuff, one in particular! It is about the shape of a piece of rice, a very small piece of rice, magnetic, black and under a 10 X loop it is a dead ringer for an oriented Sikhote-Alin I bought on E-Bay! Can a micrometeorite be oriented? Is there Micro-collectors that would look at a possible Micro? I do not have a microscope so I can't do much more. I sure would like an expert's opinion on this lit tle guy. Thanks , Tom<BR><BR> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM1ENUS/c156??PI=44364'>Click Here</a><br></html> Received on Tue 23 Jul 2002 12:54:14 PM PDT |
