[meteorite-list] S. Brant's Broadsheet (was: Need help identifying a meteorite curiosity)
Hello Paul and List, I have no background info on the origin of this plaque but something else that may also be of general interest. What we see on this plaque is not Sebastian Brant's original version of the Ensisheim fall but rather the pirated edition by Johannes Prüss of Strassburg. How do we know? Brant's original broadsheet has Ensißhem, whereas the pirated version has Ensisheim (hem vs. heim). Reference: MARVIN U.B. (1992) The meteorite of Ensisheim: 1492 to 1992 (Meteoritics 27-1, 1992, 28-72).

[meteorite-list] Oued Awlitis 001 - Serendipity !
Oued Awlitis 001 - Serendipity ! That's what I call serendipity ! Congratulations! History: (A. Irving and M. Aid) In January 2014 a group of eight people traveling in two cars were returning northward after an unsuccessful meteorite hunting trip to southern Morocco, when they stopped near Oued Awlitis to cook dinner by the roadside. During a search for firewood, Mr. Zaid Oussaid found a buried piece of dead tree trunk, but he could not excavate it by hand. With the use of a pickaxe he was able to pull the wood out of the ground, but he then noticed beside it in the cavity a flat ellipsoidal, brownish gray rock coated by glossy translucent crust with anastomozing wrinkle ridges. Upon returning to his home (at Dwar Ait Gazo, 30 km west of Tagounite), Mr. Oussaid showed the 382 g specimen to Mr. Mohamed Aid, who organized a return trip to the find site on February 21, 2014, and after a search of the area an additional 50.5 g piece which fits exactly onto the main stone was found about 50 m away. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=60219 Martin __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://three.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

What a great find story! A 500+ gram lunar is far better than a piece of firewood. Now, if only that would happen when I go camping here in the USA.
