Mr Pierce,

He is being "amazingly rude" because you think we are amazingly naive.
We are not. We have seen this CRAP before many many times and it just doesn?t
fly.
I asked to see a photo of your meteorite precisely because I was a bit
suspicious.
Upon reviewing the photos it is VERY CLEAR that it is another Campo del
Cielo.
So instead of wasting PSU;?s time I will give you the classification right
now.
What you have is :
classification Octahedrite Group IAB Composition 92.9% Fe, 6.7% Ni, 0.4%
Co
So you see.... you don?t even have to worry about cutting your precious
hoax.
Simply dissolve back into obscurity where you belong.
No one here cares about your story.

PS,
    I googled your name and...you wouldn?t happen to be a former Law
enforcement officer would you?
just curious

-Paul Gessler

Wow, Michael Farmer, you are amazingly rude.
Is your rudeness typical of this meteorite community, or are you just a
troll, or just an angry person?

I don't know what a "pen Oregon" iron meteorite is". Can you explain?
Because I am new to this stuff.

You are the only person so far who has claimed to be able to classify this
meteorite from only a photo.

But let me clarify again, the intention is to only the smallest possible
window cut to generate a sample big enough for classification.
You are also the first person to advise that classifying the meteorite will
take it to very low value. Is this consistent advise from the community
here?
I have no intention of cutting it beyond that.

OK, photos.
I'm not the most computer literate person.
I had go create a Photobucket album, and I hope this link works:

Please, no need to flame me for cleaning the rock.
I read and considered a lot before proceeding.
Simply my preference with no concern regarding market value.

Found by me personally on our 32-acre property in Southern Oregon.

Hello All,



This is my first post here. I joined recently because I found a lovely
nickel-iron meteorite, and that has spurred my further interest in this
subject. My meteorite has been confirmed as the real thing by staff of the
Meteorite Lab at Portland State University, who would like to perform
classification. It is 11.2 kg, and according to PSU staff, it will be only
the seventh classified meteorite ever found in the state of Oregon.



I?ve enjoyed reading these archives, but I haven?t yet been able to find
answer to my question.



I?m posting here to ask if anyone has any experience cutting an iron
meteorite with the CBN blade that is sold by Johnson Brothers Lapidary. They
advertise it as just the thing for cutting irons. I?m interested to know
anything about blade life, rim speed, feed rate, and using plain water as a
coolant/lubricant. For cutting the analysis sample, I have machining
experience and very suitable tools, except for the blade, which I would like
to be a circular blade.



I welcome replies here on the forum, or by private email.



Kind regards,

John
