[meteorite-list] New Meteorite used as Neolithic Tool

[wahlperry at aol.com]

Hi ,

Last year in Tuscon a friend found a 200 gram NWA  chondrite that was 
used for a grinding tool. It was on the bottom of the bucket. Both 
sides were flat showing chondrules where it was used to
grind.

Hi List,A new meteorite (Bouanane) was added to the Met Bulletin 
yesterday andin the description it says the meteorite was used as a 
hammer/anviltool in the Neolithic period.This meteorite came out of 
Morocco courtesy of Philippe Thomas.  Doesanyone have a photo of this 
specimen?  I'm very curious to see what itlooks 
like.http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=52888Best
