It looks like an chondrite to me. No photo available.= Any ideas on the ID number? Steve Schoner kind responded: The number indicates a Nininger collection piece...Plainview, Texas. Nininger usually painted a white area on the specimen then wrote in inda = ink the number. #92 is for Plainview, TX and .1157 is the 1,157th example that he sold or= found from this site. That is pretty cool. The reason I say this is because I recently purchas= ed a plainview meteorite. On it is a number that neither I or the seller= could identify. 92.387 I figured it was a collector number, the 387th stone that some collector = purchased in 1992. A pratice I've heard is common. This Plainview weigh= s 830 grams and is also oriented with almost a complete roll over rim on = the back side. Thanks for letting me know it was a Ninninger number. I = had no ideal. I have photos of this stone in my photo gallery at the following link... http://www.meteoritearticles.com/colplainview.html I'm debating going to Munich so I would be willing to entertain offers fo= r the stone (think cheaper then a non-ninninger, non-oriented Plainview).
