[meteorite-list] SLAGADOCIOUS!

[Greg Stanley]

Congrats Count... This is why you can never say for sure from photos. You have to hold it and look at it with a lens.  I have found meteorites and posted them and people said they were not.

I don't remember seeing it posted on the list before as well.
