Hello List and Mike,
  
    Mike just posted this a short while ago:

    *************************************
 
  " Subject: Oriented meteorite listed now.

      Here it is, just loaded.

  First of all...... WOW!! Awesome specimen, Mike!

  Secondly, this is a good time to ask a question that
I've wondered about now and then. I, too would have
used the exact word " oriented " to describe this
stone, and I know that is correct. But I often see
other list members using the term "orientated" (with
an extra "-at-"in the word). So my question is: Are
both terms proper, or is "oriented" the ONLY correct
term to use to describe such a meteorite as this?

  Thanks for any help with this question,

  Robert Woolard
