[meteorite-list] Zacatecas 1792

[Mexicodoug]

Dear List,

Please enjoy a photo of Zacatecas (1792), perhaps it is helpful.

Sorry I am quiet lately, I am recovering from surgery and it hurts to 
even type, so any emails I owe, kindly be patient.

Best wishes
Doug

Hi Bernd, 
 
There are only 2 people whose posts I read every time, no matter what 
the subject. You are one and Sterling Webb is the other. 
 
Thanks for forwarding the picture from Buchwald. Perhaps you are being 
diplomatic in letting us form our own opinion as to whether the sample 
on ebay is similar to the photo in Buchwald? 
 
However, what do you think of the written description that I excerpted 
in my original post? " polycrystalline..... (with) no well defined 
widmanstatten pattern." 
I've looked at a couple of photo's of Santa Rosa, to which Buchwald 
compares Zacatecas (1792) and there is no comparison to the slice on 
ebay. 
 
Perhaps we can find photos from major institutions to compare to, where 
there will be no doubt as to the provenance. After all if most 
collectors bought from the same source and that source is incorrect, 
then pictures in collector hands will all be similarly in er
ror. 
 
Thanks, 
 
Mike Fowler
