Chupar is the verb 'to suck', as a lollipop. Adding 'dero' makes it 'one who does whatever the verb is'. Here, one who sucks or a sucker. However, follow the link above and you arrive at what must be slang usage.

this particular sample doesn't appear etched. I wonder if it is this way to show the separate metals? I like it. Note: the large mass pictures on the MetBul site are impressive.

Strange iron...would that be an armored troilite nodule??

"secret military prison"? It's the common name of several species of weeds, and it's a village in New Mexico too, probably named after the weeds. ;)) ...But the meteorite is interesting. Is that a big blob of troilite in the middle?
