I once new a guy who said he could make a meteorite-IRON - to be specific,
he did'nt know about the (Widmanstten Pattern) test though. So I let him try
and then I surprised him with the (WIDMANSTATTEN PATTERN)test with Nitric
Acid. This person needs to be penalized for making the list look like the
guy who fabricated the Iron, as I mentioned. The word is -SEND IT TO ARIZONA
UNIVERSITY'S PROFSSOR SWINDLE(really is his name) and DR. KRING , both
highly eduated in meteorite-sujects and they would certainly welcome the
opportunity to test what could be a fantastic ONE-OF-A-KIND Specimen - which
is highly unlikely. Where did he test this thing? There's no way! Are there
any flow lines- you would think gold flow lines would be preserved forever,
unless water worn-out. NO #$%#_at_&ing way! Sad is right.
