Re-2: [meteorite-list] Barringer Ban Area

[moni Waiblinger-Seabridge]

I totally agree with Bernd that Thomas was very lucky indeed to have been 
able to keep them and  first of all very lucky to have found some.
As I understood from previous posts, I thought it was very hard to find some 
at all.
Maybe Thomas can add to this when he sees the posts.
Maybe its shale (?) that he found, that was another idea I heard.
Bernd have you seen them?

I believe the best to do is what Gary has in mind, ask the ranger or whoever 
is responsible for the Barringer Crater.

Its pouring and thundering in Sacramento,
Wish they were meteorites and sonic booms! ;-)
