hello Mike and others,

Or perhaps this is a chondrite with large metal veins, a la Portales Valley?
Just a thought. I think it is more likely that the news report is simply in
error.

WOW, this is really pathetic! This meteorite an iron? They need to go take a
look at a piece of iron and learn what it is. It clearly is not the GSI
doing this, they have a pile of iron meteorites.
This meteorite is an H chondrite, veined/brecciated.
Any scientists out there that can speak with the Indians and clear this
little error up?
