Jim Kriegh's favorite Gold Basin specimen. Halfway down the right side is an indentation that looks like a heart.

Great strewn fields produce great memories, as well as meteorites. RIP Jim Kreigh. |

Great patina on that well-baked, space-spud. Awesome photo, too. Thanks, Twink. |

Nice stone Twink!
I sure feel fortunate to have met Jim. He was a true gentleman. |

In Memoriam Jim Kriegh - On Sat, 30 Dec 2000, Jim sent me this email (excerpts): Twink and I are headed back to Gold Basin on the 3rd for a week. You might be interested to know that David Kring has told me that the Gold Basin meteorite was from 6 to 8 meters in diameter. If that is true, it means that not even 1% of the toal weight has been found. |
