Hello everyone,

I received this email concerning what I had proposed yesterday of Strange Rock pics for newbies. This post did not appear on this list (possibly rich texting?) I am forwarding this with the poster's permission. I still think this is a great educational idea.

Carl

PS. The last time I looked, Skyrock is down again.

It would also help if the person posting the pic change the file name, now that we've all wised up to that. The meteorite should have a distinctive look or feature to it, not some weathered uNWA that nobody can identify. How about it?
