[meteorite-list] Ad - Sudbury Black Onaping Slices, Moon Rocks, Mars Rocks, Displays

2015-01-10 Thread Galactic Stone Ironworks via Meteorite-list
Hi Friends and Collectors,

I hope everyone had a fun and safe holidays. I am starting off the New
Year with something I have not offered in a long time - lunar
meteorite.  I have a limited amount of DaG 400 lunar and the new
Martian NWA 8657.  I also have some nice (and big!) slabs of Sudbury
impact breccia - these look like a slice of the universe.  For micro
collectors, I have NWA 1232, an early NWA carbonaceous chondrite
rarely seen on the market.  As always, use coupon code metlist at
checkout for 20% OFF your order.  :)

NOTE - I have a tiny amount of NWA 7397 Martian remaining.  When the
supply of NWA 7397 runs out, I will start making displays with the new
Martian NWA 8657.  If you would like a Mars Rock display made with the
new NWA 8657, just order one of the displays below and put 8657 in
the order notes section of checkout.

[meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - Sawtooth Mountain (Ureilite, Colorado, 2006)

2015-01-10 Thread Galactic Stone Ironworks via Meteorite-list
Hi Bulletin Watchers,

There is one new approval, a ureilite found in Colorado in 2006.

Link : http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=61353

Write-up text :

Sawtooth Mountain38°20’46N, 106°57’41”W
Colorado, United States
Found: 2006
Classification: Ureilite

History: This meteorite was found by Eldon Surbeck in the summer of
2006. He was hunting for fossils on a shale exposure/talus slope when
he noticed a stone that looked out of place sitting on the outcrop. He
picked it up and took it home thinking that it might be a meteorite.

Physical characteristics: Single stone, oriented. Dark weathered
fusion crust covered exterior with rind ~3 mm thick. A saw cut reveals
dark polycrystalline texture with many thin, macroscopic, graphite
grains, some up to 4 mm long.

Petrography: (C. Agee, UNM) Examination of a polished mount shows
polygonal olivine and pigeonite grains (300-1000 μm) with triple
junctions. Most olivines have fine Fe-metal blebs on grain boundaries
and along fractures. Ubiquitous graphite, often as elongate mm-size
domains. Fe-metal and oxidized metal occupying most silicate grain
boundaries. Chromite is present.
Geochemistry: (C. Agee and N. Muttik, UNM) Olivine Fa24.9±3.0,
Fe/Mn=55±9, Cr2O3=0.46±0.01, n=15; pigeonite Fs20.8±0.1Wo11.8±0.1,
Fe/Mn=33±2, Cr2O3=1.07±0.01 wt%, n=10.

Classification: Achondrite (ureilite)

Specimens: 21.8 g including a probe mount on deposit at UNM, Reed
holds the main mass.
