[meteorite-list] Sutters Mill Offer

[Jim Wooddell]

I posted from my other email and it did not make it through for some reason.

I can not tell you how many people walked up to me and asked if they had a 
meteorite.  I saw a lot of this stuff.  I will say (I hate doing this by 
pictures) that this is not a meteorite.
The reason why is that this sample does have a surface and it's not fusion 
crust.  Also, if you look closely you can see fiber in it.  This is an oiled 
piece of road debris best I can tell.  The CAI's are not "on the rock" they 
are in it.  So there are three clues, it's not a meteorite.
