[meteorite-list] A Rare Arizona Meteorite Find plus a possible "NEW" New Mexico Strewnfield

[Greg Stanley]

Wow - Congratulations Rubin, that is a beautiful specimen.  At first I thought... a Diogenite, but with so much metal?  The Olivine crystal is really nice, so I would rule out a chondrite, but you never know. It looks like a complete stone, is that right? I hope you can find more.  Also, congratulations to  Del and your team on the new cold find in New Mexico.

Thanks for sharing,

Greg S.

> Del Waterbury, Mike Morgan and Myself). Unfortunately, between the

> rains and mud we came up empty.

> After checking the weather (online) with a very helpful Susan Morrison

> We hunted for an hour or two when I spotted Mike Morgan and Del

> examining a stone. Sure enough Del had found his first cold find and

> it was a very fresh looking meteorite! Mike Morgan was next to find

> one and then shortly after I did too.

>

> We think this may prove to be a “NEW” and very fresh New Mexico Strewn

> field. Time will tell as we return to hunt for more of these

> beautifully crusted specimens in the weeks to come.
