[meteorite-list] Ad-Announcing a New German Iron Meteorite!

[Matt Morgan]

All I said is that I have seen similar looking etches in real bomb 
shrapnel. These were tested and determined to be of earth origin.  Just 
so you are aware of the possibilities.
I do not have a piece, personally. Maybe others do.
Take care,
Matt
