[meteorite-list] Caliche

[Tom AKA James Knudson]

Hello Walter, Caliche is a deposit and covers the crust. I have removed it
from a few meteorites now and have found nice crust underneath. Caliche Is
water soluble and therefore is the best way to remove it, just incase anyone
wanted to know.  : )

Thanks, Tom
