THE PINTO MOUNTAINS "IRON" IS CONFIRMED METEOR-WRONG

Bolide*chaser identifies 50 year old museum specimens on display at the
1998 Los Angeles County Fair
as being meteor-wrongs (terrestrial rock).

Assists in its confirmation by taking specimens to UCLA and John Wasson.

John Wasson confirms that specimens are non-meteoritic - - - specimens are identified as being mostly hematite with some magnetite by UCLA's Alan Rubin.


The above specimens were donated in the 1950s. They have now been "de-accessioned" from the museum's collection, but just beforehand, I made images of them for future reference:

Special "thanks", for his assistance in getting the "meteor-wrongs" confirmed, goes to Bob Reynolds, San Bernardino County Museum - Curator of Minerals, who has suspected all along that these were terrestrial rocks in spite of the accompanying documentation which suggested that La Paz had identified these as meteoritic irons.
