(meteorobs) [meteorite-list] Utah, Wyoming, Idaho Bolide 18NOV09

[Meteorites USA]

Hi Everyone,

I asked this question about two years ago and it was answered.

Green "can" be iron, but it's not indicative of a solid iron meteoroid, 
meaning it could be an H chondrite or even a mesosiderite, or a 
pallasite. This has all been suggested. Keep in mind almost ALL 
meteorites have some amount of iron in them.

Not to mention, that the only way to verify that is to find the stones 
dropped from that particualr fireball. You need to be able to verify 
that a certain stone comes from a certain fireball event.

Also, iron is not the only mineral that burns green.

Regards,
Eric Wichman
