[meteorite-list] Where are the thin section experts?

[Ruben Garcia]

Adam, Bernd, Greg, and List members,

Adam, thanks for posting your guess and congratulations on your recent
finds. You say you are no expert (with thin sections) but I know that
you have seen more than a few rare meteorites – your opinion is
valued!

I have been hitting the dry lake beds nearly every weekend (mainly in
winter months) for several years now, and while I’ve made some great
finds I’m sure this will be my best. Sonny and I join you, (along with
a few others) in the race to see who will find the first American
lunar. It will happen, in fact he and I already have lunar looking (at
least to my untrained eye) contenders.

Bernd,

You too have seen and know a lot more about rare meteorites than I and
yes I am learning a lot from all the responses.

Greg,
As to your question about scale the thin section in on a regular sized
(thin section) slide and in the picture the edges can be seen so that
should give an idea.
