Geocache Description:

Ammo can with swag. FTF gets a black travel bug and STF gets $1. Good luck!


A meteorite is a meteor that survives its passage through the earth's atmosphere and all or part of it strikes the ground. More than 90 percent of meteorites are of rock, while the remainder consist wholly or partly of iron and nickel. "Olivine has also been discovered in meteorites, on the Moon and Mars, falling into infant stars, as well as on asteroid 25143 Itokawa. Such meteorites include chondrites, collections of debris from the early Solar System; and pallasites, mixes of iron-nickel and olivine."-Wikipedia.  I have included an Olivine sample. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE SAMPLE. YOU MAY LOOK AND TOUCH BUT PLEASE LEAVE FOR THE NEXT CACHER TO ENJOY. THANK YOU!
