[meteorite-list] sharing some pictures of little [suspect] irons

[Michael Murray]

Hi List,
Thought some of you might like to see some more pictures of my little  
suspect irons that I have been trying to get cleaned up.  It is a slow  
process.  Here is a few of them.

This little guy has what appears to be flow lines running down to the  
point, wouldn't you say?  It took some long soaks in naval jelly to  
get it looking this clean.  It's amazing what you can find when you  
get the crud off of them.

The next two pictures are of the same piece.  I'm kind of glad I found  
this one with the magnet rake and not my bicycle tire.

This is one of the weirdest pieces I have found.  It is a shell of  
iron filled with what appears to be chondritic material.  It reminds  
me of a three-minute egg with the top taken off.  I believe I have at  
least three pieces like this.

I like how this one has a little finger on the one side, and how as it  
cooled it kept what looks like flowing metal.

Here are the two I have been trying to get the calcium cover off of.   
One on left is 80% cleaned and the one on the right is just starting  
to show through.  I'm using CLR.  Slow process but it works.  First  
time these two pieces have seen the light of day for probably a long  
time.
