[meteorite-list] wolf creek meteorite

[ROCKS ON FIRE]

Hello, List and Steve,

VERY small pieces, penny size and smaller, have been collected from 
smashed large shale balls (about 25 kg+). And apparently the Washington 
US Nat. Museum has got a 62g piece of unaltered Wolfe Creek iron among 
its 350 kg total.
That is all what I am aware.
A friend of mine has got a very small thin slice of Wolf Creek iron. 
Here is a metallurgical microscope picture of it:

I have never come across any unaltered iron from Wolfe Creek here in 
Australia.
However, there are rumors that some fragments of unaltered iron have 
been found on the surface, approx. 8 km SW of the crater.

I would not bet my 2 Ozzie cents on this.

Best regards from DOWN-UNDER,

Norbert & Heike Kammel
