(Unless it was from my website or Eric Twelkers) I have a small 2.66g part slice, with a Farmer card, on my website here: http://www.meteoritearticles.com/colnwa987.html I wrote that it was purchased in Morocco, as I think that is what the bulletin reads. Some NWA's it notes as having been purchased in Denver, and I don't think this one does. I will change that later. Does this mean the date in the bulletin is off as well? August 1st. The Denver show being in mid-September. NWA 987 is a great looking meteorite with wall to wall chondrules....that seem on average, somewhat small....3-4mm. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door." - plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Not talking about NWA's, but she could have been....:^) Clear Skies, Mark Bostick www.meteoritearticles.com Received on Mon 23 May 2005 05:35:46 PM PDT |
