<< The lunar meteorites have a slight green tint , and I think some have
little smiley faces, or wait is it the extra set of cheeks ??? And don't
they have that curios smell of cheese ??? I almost broke my tooth testing
the last one !!!
Needless to say I haven't found one yet !!!
Maybe someone could give us some insight on what to look for in those
martian meteorites ,Besides the red color and little green guys ??? >>
John,
I can't beat your Lunar testing methods, but here's a quick field test for
possible SNC's:
Scratch the rock's surface slightly to release some of those trapped gases,
then breathe in deeply. Set aside any that smell like Mars - throw away any
that smell of chondrules. Simple huh?
