<Farmer, or your new mesosiderite its pieces of vaca muerta?>

Matteo I suggest you take another look at the photos. NObody who had ever seen even a single piece of Vaca Muerta would ever confuse the two. We know you hate Mike Farmer and are jealous of his success, but to make a statement like that which every novice knows is false is unacceptable on this list.

It may not be obvious to Matteo, but it is visible. On the 268 gram piece the side shown on the left photo is mostly crust. As it happens I was at Mike's house yesterday and saw the pieces before they were posted. The most interesting of the pieces, around 600 grams, isn't on his web site. It has a very unusual matte black crystal looking inclusion. It is about 1 cm across and looks like nothing I had seen before. Hopefully Mike will post some photos of it.
