Steve,
The Sherbinator never did respond to my email offering expertization either
at my home or with the crew at UCLA.
A year to get it checked out? Maybe a year to get a real meteorite
characterized,
but a lot of meteor-wrongs can be identified in a few minutes!

Greetings List,
Slickensides has been a topic brought up many times on the list. I'm
still not exactly clear on what this is and I'd like to get a
clarification. I recently acquired a small fragment of Tatahouine
from Anne Black at Impactika. Besides having some fusion crust the
specimen shows
Hi All

NWA 3118 for sale.

have a weight).
It is a killer piece . realy
beautifull.

Hi,
Thinking about caliche - as it is mainly calcium carbonate , a wash with
HCl would probably nuke it - however, I have got a 66g lump of Dean's CV3
and it is relatively riddled for the first 0.5cms to 1cm with caliche veins
- I suspect that a dunk in HCl may cause fragments of the meteorite
Dave and List,
Dave, you also used to collect minerals (or still do). Remember how ugly
an amethyst looks after a wash with HCL? Instead of risking fragments
to break away or having other mineral constuents dissolved, I'd rather
leave some caliche
Also, having just bought a 40g slice of
Hi Bernd and list
Oh yes, I have a magnificent collection of rocks (terrestrial) and I agree - I'd leave the caliche - if necessary lightlybrush it off, don't forget thatTroilite and other sulphides will also reactwith the HCL to give off a smelly gas! You could be left will a stinky

Rare space junk for sale
news.com.au (Australia)
May 8, 2004
FOR a cool $100,000 a rare piece of space real estate could be yours.
A meteorite that was discovered in a rural field in northern NSW 25
years ago has been
A small tidbit not mentioned:
"The federal Government has classified the meteorite as a piece of
cultural heritage and banned its export."
http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0%2C4057%2C9518424%255E13762%2C00.html
That is confusing. Anyone can buy it but they cannot leave Australia
with it?
Wow, Lex Simshauser of Lex E Simshauser Consulting is doing a great job of
promoting this specimen by calling it Space Junk. At least they added the
word Rare in front of it. Just think, for a cool $100,000.00 in cash it
could be yours but no doubt everybody will be clamoring to own this Rare
FOUR DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD
New Scientist
May 8, 2004
Just when you thought the dust had settled on the cause of the demise
of the dinosaurs, there's a new type of catastrophe kicking it up again.
Forget meteorites and mega-volcanoes, Verneshots are the real culprits,

Japanese scientists discovered particles of stardust right here on

Its not every day that one sees a rock so devoid of
crust and so ugly as this one. Probably not
interesting enough for anybody to actually want in
their collection. But I thought that somebody might
think that the photo is cute or something anyway.

Hi Ken and List
It appears that the ozzy gov wants to retain its
control of the item, yet allow study to occur. Funny thing about cultural
heritage items, they can go all over the world on loan...some never return I
hearbut technically, they belong to some organization representing that

Hi all, I know this is slightly off topic but I thought you'd all appreciate
it for the comedy value. When the discovery of Sedna was announced I started
wondering what a distant planetoid would talk about, if it could talk. (I
think I might be finding my day job a little boring these days).
