[meteorite-list] Ad: Nevada Meteorite as found IN MATRIX

[Norm Lehrman]

List,

Here's a heads up on something kind of neat.  A few
days ago I stopped at my favorite central Nevada dry
lake and collected several specimens complete with the
dessicated lake bed surface in which they were
embedded.

I just posted the first one to ebay.  See it at:

This makes a really interesting display piece and
comes with exact find coordinates.

If anyone would like a bigger version of this---say a
square foot or so of lake surface complete with a
meteorite, let me know and I'll try to collect one for
you on my next trip out.  I'm still experimenting with
approaches to stabilizing the material, but
water-diluted Elmer's glue seems to work well without
any obvious changes in appearance.  This could make a
really cool framed wall mount!

Cheers,
Norm
