[meteorite-list] New Rare EL 3 Paleo Meteorite NWA 2828

[wahlperry at aol.com]

Hi Greg,

I just polished a window in the NWA 2828. It does show some nice 
chondrules of various sizes. It would be hard to tell in the field that 
this was even a meteorite. I took my field magnet and tested the 
meteorite and nothing. I also looked for signs of visible fusion crust 
or regmaglypts. The only indicator that this might be a meteorite were 
the tiny chondrules on the exterior of the meteorite. I would encourage 
any of the desert hunters to get a piece of this meteorite to help with 
field identification. If I had not seen this meteorite and came across 
one in the field I would have thrown it away without any hesitation.


Thanks,

Sonny
