Adventures in Meteorite Hunting

Two Day Trip Yields Meteorites

I spent two days in the desert - in a neighboring state - hoping to find another rare achondrite. An elusive U.S. Lunar or Martian meteorite is always on my mind. Unfortunately, this time I came back with a handful of ordinary chondrites. Nothing rare but still had a good time! Here are the pictures of the six stones I found. Strangely, the first two seem to be the same type and the last four -weathered chondrites - are different.

Wow, look at all the chondrules!                                                          In situ
