G'day Bill,

>From memory, there was a bit more talk of it a few months back. Someone
posted a fantastic picture of an etched slice. (Marcin?) Anyone have a link?

I think a few (including myself) may have believed a man-made origin after
seeing that pic. Whether it was deliberately manufactured or a by-product of
an industrial process..... well..... I guess we will probably never know.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hello List,

I am curious as to whether there is more information available about the
Shirokovsky Palasite Meteorwrong? I have read the info available at the Met
Bulletin

http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php?code=31359

but I am very interested in what "earth" rock/mineral this has been
determined to be (if any) and how it came to so closely resemble a
pallasite. Looking at a photo it sure looks to be a pallasite to my armature
eye.

Thanks, Bill
