[meteorite-list] New to list

[Melanie Matthews]

Hi, 
Good to see you here, I started collecting almost two years ago myself.. Well, actually my first meteorites are irons - a couple of Nantans, an etched Gibeon coin, and a shrapnel I think of the Campo (which i lost the label to but I recall it saying it's from Argentina), which I got 4 or 5 years ago... they haven't rusted away on me (including the Nantans). Until I learned more about these space rocks and found out about chondrites about a year and a half ago (when I started getting more and more into the hobby), I thought irons were the most common type of meteorite.. lol  It was then that I began adding a bunch of NWAs into my collection, as well as some falls, famous finds and hammers. 

Welcome to the list!

Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get!

Hello folks. I started collecting meteorites about two years ago. I  
have a small yet fairly modest collection.

I bought my first few meteorites from Ann Black of Impactika. She was  
and is very nice and helpful. I have also purchased and become  
friendly with Mike Jensen though often busy he is very courteous and  
informative. Blaine Reed is also one whom I have purchased from and a  
great guy.

I recently became friends with Gary Fujihara on facebook and three of  
my favorite meteorite slices have come from him. I very much admire  
him and his great mind as well as his take on things.

I'm mostly a reader and look forward to learning from all of you. From  
time to time I may even post my own comments and view of things, ask  
questions, hopefully without losing my head for it!!
LOL!!

Regards to all,
