No problem, John. Indeed, Nuevo Mercurio should be considered as a classic Fall.

Thanks...I've made that mistake (calling it a US Fall) for this particular Fall in the past. I keep thinking New Mexico for it...Mexico is NOT the US. How about North America for a classic Fall, which is more relevant anyway. :/ thanks for sharing too Andreas...

Yes, the crust of NM can differ in appearance. But Nuevo Mercurio is not an US fall, it's a mexican fall.

Some of the NM's are fresh crusted and others have a nice orange-ish patina. A classic collectable US Fall.
