Yeah, John - "they have their stories and we have ours" and, o yes, occasinally the both of them meet: our mortal shape and these age-old guys (and gulls, to be correct). Isn't that incredible? And I agree again: they all represent something very, very special. |

Thank you Mathias. Love it--yada, yada--they have Their stories and we have ours, may the twain meet. Every day, (thank you Paul), I get to see the beginning of most of everything that is Us. They are all extraordinary in their Own way. |

Yes, John, I think there was a whole dark story about it, something about silver or gold hunters, and one of them accusing the others of stealing,.... and the whole thing finishing badly. I'll have to go look in the "Handbook of Iron Meteorites" to see what Buchwald had to say about it. And don't worry Matthias no one would mistake this great fish-looking Chinga for a cow-pie!!! |

I always liked the story I first read that basically said the Chinga meteorites were found in a river. "Let's go look for meteorites in the piles of rocks found in the river" ???...doesn't sound right. |

That's true, Bernd. For me it's evocative of marine species. Most Chingas are more or less iron cowpats. |
