Hi Tett Randy and list
Here are some thin section photos...near the bottom of the page... if
you want to guess at a classification. Also includes a photo of
several beautiful stones as well as a nice oriented stone as well.
Just wish I could legally hold one in my hands today.
Mike

Thanks for sharing this Randy.
It looks genuine (and incredibly beautiful!) but a little odd that Alan
Hildebrand advised that this is an H3/4.
This seams a little fast for classification but perhaps that is what it is.
I guess an H3/4 is better than an H 5 or H6.
Cheers!

Collectors:
A couple of days ago I was contacted by telephone by Mr. Warren Wiley of
Saskatchewan. (Why me?) He told me that he'd found "the second largest"
stone of the Dec. 2 fireball and that he wanted to sell it. He seems to be
a nice fellow, so I offered to pass his information along to the meteorite
list, which was OK with him. He does not have Internet access. A friend of
his sent a message this morning with the following text and some attached
photos, which I've posted on this website:
http://artsci.wustl.edu/~rlkorote/warren/
Mr Wiley's text: "This specimen is from the Buzzard Coulee near Lone
Rock, Saskatchewan. This is an immaculate masterpiece of atmospheric
sculpting. Heavily regmaglyphed, aesthetic specimen. Found December 2, 2008,
35 minutes after sundown. I have video documentation of my 4 day search;
where I found it, and associate professor, Alan Hildebrand, coming to our
house to authenticate. Alan Hildebrand and other scientists have completed
the lab analysis on my chondrite, and it is an (H 3/4) chondrite. Warren
Wiley (owner) is putting it up for bids, serious inquiries only. Contact
Warren at 1-780-842-4858."
Please do not contact me about this offer. I'm just the messenger and I
won't respond to enquiries about this issue. I'm only doing this because I
wanted to see the photos.
