Hi Mark,
Wow!! Thank you very much!!! I can't beleive the generousity of you and
other list members. I am proud to have a hobby in which the people have such
big hearts. I only hope that when I grow up I can be like many of you :)
(and not like that woman that is being such a jerk to Matteo). My address
is:

5702 43A St.
Vegreville, Alberta, Canada
T9C 1E3

By the way, I have a metal detector, powerful magnet and all that stuff for
hunting for meteorites. If I ever find one I will send a some big chunks to
you, Michael Casper and Michael Farmer.

Thanks again.

>Hello list,
>A friend of mine just returned from meteor crater (Wish I were there) and

>brought me a very interesting rock that he found about 1/2 Km from the rim
>of the crater. It is pourus like lava but it seems denser than most lava
>that I have seen. I can't give you an exact weight and density because I
>don't have a scale for small weights. It is dark brownish-red and it has
>globs of sand fused to it. When I looked at the fused sand with my 10x
>magnifier I noticed that the sand grains are partly melted into each other.
>It looks like it has chips and pieces of small, light rock in it. Could
>these be fragments of limestone that were propelled out of the forming
>crater? Also, I can pick up the rock with a powerful magnet but it doesn't
>stick as strongly as an entire meteorite so I think it might be some melted
>meteorite that was mixed with the rock on impact. Is this an impactite? He
>brought other rocks from the same area but none of them stick to a magnet
>or
>look melted. I don't know much about impactite so any information would be
>greatly appreciated. I am sorry that I can't give you an image but I don't
>have a digital camera yet. I don't have much money right now and the money
>I
>do have is going towards a eucrite.

>By the way, anyone got a good offer on eucrite? I won't be able to buy any
>now because I don't have much money but maybe in a month or so I will. I
>don't have any achondrite at all in my collection yet and I thought eucrite
>is fairly cheap so I will get some.
