[meteorite-list] AD ** Pristine 100g Park Forest - Best Offer

[bill kies]

Hi all,

Here's a very fresh Park Forest meteorite. It was recovered hours after the fall by a resident. I can show you the spot where it was picked up within 10 to 20 feet using google maps. 

This 100 gram specimen exhibits a lot of character:

Patches of extra thick fusion crust.

85% crusted overall.

Area of fusion crust misted over by a spray of matrix material.

Metal blebs melted into puddles on the surface, one of which is relatively large.

Regmaglypts and more. I'm sure there are many features that my inexperienced eye has missed or doesn't recognize.

I'm not the best photographer so I've tried to make up for the lack of high quality pics with quantity. The pictures don't do the specimen justice. The crust is a rich black color with the lighter matrix indicative of Park Forest's dual lithology. 

There aren't many PF specimens of this quality left in circulation. I'll be taking offers for ten days.
