Hi ,

Last year in Tuscon a friend found a 200 gram NWA chondrite that was
used for a grinding tool. It was on the bottom of the bucket. Both
sides were flat showing chondrules where it was used to
grind.

Hi List,A new meteorite (Bouanane) was added to the Met Bulletin
yesterday andin the description it says the meteorite was used as a
hammer/anviltool in the Neolithic period.This meteorite came out of
Morocco courtesy of Philippe Thomas. Doesanyone have a photo of this
specimen? I'm very curious to see what itlooks
like.http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=52888Best
