[meteorite-list] Nantan

[Eddie]

Hi, Tett:
      Nice to know a guy who knows Taiwan! I will need to fly to Hong Kong 
and Dounguan city for my company on November 22. My company produce magnet 
for small motor and others. As you know South China has many tektites 
available,but so many wrong Nantan iron meteorites there. I am confusing 
with this. Here are China's Rock Research Center's link(China government) , 
but they only have Simple Chinese edition homepage could read(no English):
http://geodb.gig.ac.cn/old_www/aero/myright2.htm
The reader only need to type "Province" name or Meteorite name in Simple 
Chinese. Then, computer will tell you its fell age, meteorite content and 
location. It is nice to me, but it has never report in meteorite mailing 
list when most of people don't understand Chinese or Most of Chinese don't 
know meteorites at all! Although we know different types of iron meteorite 
has different kinds widemanns pattern but we must be confusing with Nantan 
when those sellers(China farmers) did not want to tell anybody truth about 
their found out area in Business! Here, I translate it into English for 
Chinese provincation:
 25 fell records in GuanXi Province(Nantan iron meteorite's Province)

      I think that is why there are some different types oxidized iron 
meteorites show in Intenet from China.
