They spotlight was on meteorites this year. Tom Kottyan had to sign his life away in order to make this display available for our enjoyment and education.

I met Pam and Dan at LoweVolk. It might have been the first show I attended.

I sincerely enjoyed this year's show. I was able to handle a meteorite. It was quite dense and seemed heavy. I suppose that is because it contained iron or nickel.
I was able to get help on the ID of rock I found in the bucket I bought at the silent auction last year. What a deal! It was Carnotite.

I read that it forms when ground water runs through uranium deposits. It has radioactive properties and dissolves in acids.
I find myself wishing that I had access to my high school chemistry/physics lab on some of the ID's Thanks Tom.
