[meteorite-list] Steve Arnold's Impressive Gao Collection

[bernd.pauli at paulinet.de]

Knock, knock !

"You seem to be building quite a collection of Gao! Go get 'em!"

"The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field."


Hello Steve and List,

First off: I must also admit that this is becoming a very impressive,
an awesome collection of Gao meteorites! Sincere congratulations!

The next best step after displaying them for all of us to see, would or could
now be to study them, to compare them, to look at their respective fusion
crusts, to describe their individual characteristics, to do a little research on
their different degrees of weathering (and maybe even shock stage[s]), the
thickness or thinness of their fusion crusts, and so much more and then share
your observations with the List. This would give them a "life".

Of course, you might also consider constructing a special Gao info page:

dates of fall / find, classification, history, repositories, strewn field parameters,
scientific papers / articles, and, and, and, ...

"The next step in his obsession -- head for the strewn field."

.. Well, why not!? Gao instead of London if the risks involved are not too high!
He would surely come back with some personal finds or purchases.

Such specimens have an even higher, personal value!


Best regards,

Bernd
