Bob's has only a couple of very small vugs. The photo in the auction is full of large ones. It is almost certainly a slag of some sort. But we will likely never know.

Hi Mark There are no vugs in Estherville. See a close up in the 2003 meteorite calendar. Or check out Rob Elliot's web site.

Re: [meteorite-list] Esterville ?????
Mark / Anyone interested: I don't believe this to be a sample of the Estherville mesosiderite. The metal distribution is wrong, the vugs are large and round while specimens of Estherville display small (1 to 4mm) angular cavities and a bi-modal distribution of metal. Additionally please note the smooth, fine-grained matrix or groundmass of the specimen in question. Estherville's is coarser, granulated and not smooth. The exterior surfaces of every piece of Estherville that I've ever seen have small bits/blebs of exposed metal visible. One Hallmark characteristic of Estherville is it's dark, gray-black-bluish exterior. I see none of this in the hand-samples displayed. I know that we're only working with images here but in my opinion this specimen appears more like an igneous artifact than a meteorite.

[meteorite-list] Esterville Meteorite Newspaper Article
Hello Everybody, I recently purchased another 1800 newspaper with a cool meteorite fall article. It is the Cuba Patriot, Friday, June 13, 1879 and it mentions the Esterville meteorite fall. Not sure ifthere is interested in copies of this let me know and I'll put in on my things to do list. The article does have a small stain so they wouldn't come out that great. I still have copies of the Weston Newspaper article so if you wanted a free copy and didn't notice when I offered copies last month let me know. If anyone has any Peekskill newspapers, or any other meteorite fall newspapers, for trade or sell please let me know. Guess thats about it:-) Mark Bostick "The Big Collector" Newspaper article in the Cuba Patriot, Friday, June 13, 1879 The Meteor That fell in Iowa One Fragment weighing 431 Pounds Embedded 14 Feet in the Earth From the Chicago Tribune Esterville, Emmet Co. Iowa, May 14 -On the 10th inst, a meteor fell in this place. The sun was shining, and only the occasionally a fleecy cloud was visible, when far up in mid-air there was a loud report resembling the dischange of a cannon, only louder, followed soon by another resembling a heavy blastm which was follwed by one or two more reports that might have been an echo of the first; then, for a minute or so, there was a rumbling sound, seemingly passing from north-east to southwest. About two miles north, Mr. Charles Ega was at work planting corn when the explosion came. Looking in the direction of the report, he could not see anything on account of the sun, but, following with his eye the direction of the roaring sound that followed, he saw earth thrown to some height in the edge of a ravine ahundred rods or so to the north-northeast of where he was at work. Mr. John Barber reports a simular appearence a hundred rods or so further in the same direction. S. W. Brown, who lives three-forths of a mile north of here, was in the edge of the timber looking in a northwesterly direction being quartering to the sun; he saw a red spark, and was looking attentively at it when the explosion came. He says that when it burst there was a cloud of smoke at the head of the red streak, which rushing forth like the smoke from a cannon's mouth, and then spread in ever direction. On the edge of the ravine a hole was found twelve feet in diameter and about 6 feet deep, which was full of water. Parties has since, by untiring labor and search, found numerous pieces varying in size from one to eight ounces, also four pieces about four pounds, and one weighing thrity-two pounds and two ounces, but the largest was found bedded eight feet in blue clay and fully fourteen from the surface. Its weight was 431 pounds. It was two feet long by one and one-half wide, and one foot or so thick, with ragged uneven surface. It is composed apparently of nearly pure metal of some kind, resembling silver somewhat but a trifle darker
