Dear Bernd, Mark, and List: Hi Bernd!=20 Uh-oh Mark, you are going to receive a lot of hate mail for that = comment : )=20 Gold Basin, you see, has a special place in the hearts of many List = members. As is now well documented, the strewn field was discovered way = back in the Roaring 1990s by List members Jim Kriegh and Twink Monrad, = and a vast number of us hunted there in subsequent years. Why, there are = even some venerable List members who's first-ever meteorite find took = place at Gold Basin -- isn't that right Mr. Blood? So, after having made three hunting trips there myself, and written = two articles about GB for "Meteorite" magazine, I feel it is my = obligation to change your mean old opinion. So . . . will the accused please refer to Exhibits 1 and 2 below: http://www.notkin.net/basin1.htm [Exhibit 1: Detail of fab = multi-colored chondrules in a 152.2 gram polished half stone found by = Twink in 1998] http://www.notkin.net/basin2.htm [Exhibit 2: Unusual shape, metal = flecks, fusion crust, desert patina, all visible on a 67.8 gram complete = individual which I found in 1999] Now, can you truthfully state -- and I'd like to remind you that you = ARE under oath -- that GB is uglier than . . . say . . . Tulia? Or North = Branch? (sorry Steve, just kidding) Now take back what you said about GB, or I will be forced to post = more pictures : ) Geoff N.=20 ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C1374C.8E3D2AA0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>Ugliest meteorite?</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2>Check out the recently recognized 83 kilo = Bruceville, CA=20 (L6) .
