Does anyone have any pics or info that they can share about asiderite (not siderite)? The only information I can find is that asiderite is "an iron-free meteorite consisting of friable material." Found a slab and a piece of asiderite cut in half, but the material looks a lot like coprolite. ?? Thanks!!

Jan, nothing for asideritie in my books. This group, meteorites.asu.edu/, does not list it. However, I googled coprolite asiderite and came up with lots of hits or coprolite siderite. Nothing in Pough or mindat.org Good luck! Pat

Thank You, Mrs. Pat!! I'm beginning to wonder if it might be coprolite siderite after reading your post. I'll post a pic of it in a little while. Thank you for the link, too!

Here's some of the seller's pics of the 'asiderite.' It is from Utah. ??

Wow, 1803? Thanks again, Mrs. Pat!! Wonder if "sp. g of 341" is for specific gravity of 3.41?
