Hi Norbert,

you're not telling the truth :-)
Once I took a shale piece from you and when I cut it,
a tiny elongated grain of pure metal appeared, 3mm long, less then half a mm
wide. First I thought, what for a poor quality blade I had, that parts of it
got loose, but when I grinded the cut surface, it turned out to belong to
the shale ball.

Buckleboo!
Martin

PS: who falls for a spam mail for the hundredth time. Gosh "Corel Draw"
sounds to me like a typical American meteorite name...seigh.

Hello, List and Steve,

VERY small pieces, penny size and smaller, have been collected from
smashed large shale balls (about 25 kg+). And apparently the Washington
US Nat. Museum has got a 62g piece of unaltered Wolfe Creek iron among
its 350 kg total.
That is all what I am aware.
A friend of mine has got a very small thin slice of Wolf Creek iron.
Here is a metallurgical microscope picture of it:

I have never come across any unaltered iron from Wolfe Creek here in
Australia.
However, there are rumors that some fragments of unaltered iron have
been found on the surface, approx. 8 km SW of the crater.

I would not bet my 2 Ozzie cents on this.

Best regards from DOWN-UNDER,

Norbert & Heike Kammel
