It was in the last vote by the NomCom. I'll find out tomorrow if it was actually approved (I didn't know of any serious problems), but you can be confident in its classification as a real iron meteorite.<br><br> jeff<br><br> At 02:38 AM 1/18/2004, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite><font size=2>G'day,</font><br> <br> <font size=2>I've got a 1kg & 3kg individual.

I had heard it was a ruster <dd>so <dd>> I kept it away from my other material just in case. <dd>> <dd>> Well, yesterday I gave up on it and tossed it out...in the form of a pile <dd>of <dd>> rust. There was not one decent chunk left...it had completely turned to <dd>ashes <dd>> you might say. <dd>> <dd>> Now this piece was supposedly treated ahead of time for rusting, so I <dd>guess I <dd>> should be glad I got to enjoy it as long as I did. I do not recommend <dd>Dronino. <dd>> <dd>> This is FYI, <dd>> <dd>> John <dd>> <dd>> <dd>> ______________________________________________ <dd>> Meteorite-list mailing list <dd>> <a href="mailto:Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com">Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com</a> <dd>> <a href="http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list" eudora="autourl">http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list</a> <dd>><br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <dd>______________________________________________ <dd>Meteorite-list mailing list <dd><a href="mailto:Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com">Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com</a> <dd><a href="http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list" eudora="autourl">http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list</a></blockquote> <x-sigsep><p></x-sigsep> </dl>Dr. Jeffrey N.
