As far as I know, the formation of Putorano and others are still an open question, several theories exist, but nothing sure. When Putorano was found, it was quite a long kept as a mesosiderite, and it still is one of the best meteorwrongs known. Without a closer examination in a lab you canīt say, is it terrestial or not. In my opinion, you may have bigger possibilities to have a mesosiderite than a natural metallic iron with nickel, so it may be wise to have the specimen for the closer look to a lab, just to check, if it is terrestial origin or not. And we should remember, it could also be just some man-made material, but hope not. This sounds interresting, keep us updated...;- take care, pekka s Timothy Finkle wrote: > Hi List, > > > > Does anybody have any information on Puturanos?
