[meteorite-list] Colorado Shool of Mines and Tech Meteorite exhibit

[hxmendoza]

Thank for posting this for me Gary!

Sorry folks, but I had tried to post the link about eight times on my  
own but it would never post!

But when I just tried to post those two "Tests" they worked just fine.  
I still haven't got a clue why it wouldn't post for me.

Anyway it's a pretty nice collection of meteorites. So if any of you  
come out to Denver for the Gem and Mineral Show in September, try to  
set aside some time to visit the geology museum. It puts what the  
Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) has on display to great  
shame.

As a side note. DMNS has a roughly 1cm sized piece of moon rock off of  
one of the parent Apollo 17 specimens on display. It is reposited  
there by NASA thru Mercury Astronaut Scott Carpenter. It is encased in  
lucite.

A roughly 3 to 4 inch piece of the biggest moon rock brought back by  
Apollo 15 is on display at the student center at University of  
Colorado in Boulder. It's a beautiful specimen. O think the parent  
specime is 15555. But that's off the top of my head so don't hold me  
to that ID.

Best regards,
