Hello to the List,

This cut surface also shows small vesicles that make one wonder if it is one of the few meteorites that have vesicles.

I would certainly have picked it up and submit for closer inspection.

Sonny is very experienced and has made some spectacular finds, I hope this one turns out to be another rare type.

Best Regards,

> Sonny Clary sliced a piece off this found desert specimen and mentioned that I might want to let the List look at the remainder,in hopes I will get some opinions. It is slightly heavier than similar terrestial rocks, makes a dark streak, is attracted lightly to a neomydium mag, enough to support the missing 30 gram slice. Carbonaceous condrite? Meteor wrong? What say you?
