I submit for your consideration two pics of a real 247 gram regmaglypted individual from Primm Dry Lake in Nevada and the 6 exact casts I have made to be dispersed to 6 potential finders of the missing piece.
Casts were made from a painted on latex mold built up to 12 layers. The casting medium used was gypsum/concrete with a wash in espresso grounds and painted with water colors and oil paint.
Can you guess which one is the real meteorite? The answer is on the roll-over.
The casts have been mailed to 6 chosen searchers who submitted to me potential matches they had found on Primm dry Lake over the last 16 years. The dry lake is destined to become a paved landing strip/airport in the not to distant future so I thought this was a good time to try for reconsolidation with the help of the meteorite hunter community.

My wife called this my strange attempt in meteoritic futility and chondritic consolidation.

It is easier to hunt Primm if you get off the road right away, after leaving the casino grounds, that way, you won*t see the *No Trespassing* signs......, |
