The reference that I forward to you (Jull, 1997) calls
out a terrestrial age for Lafayette as being ~9kya.
I still haven't found the reference that brings that
age down to the 2,900 years ago that Astrobiology
Magazine staffwriter, Dr. David Noever, wrote about in
his article.

Hi Mark, Bernd, Joern and List,
thanks everyone for the quick support concerning the Mazapil fall. Although my
collection still lacks a sample my archive has grown. For those who are interested I
will add a detailed steel engraving of the iron later today on my website.
best wishes
Svend
I enjoyed! It's great!!!

Dear All,
It seems, there is a problem with the class C mesosiderites and the metal-rich
diogenites, which may just be fragments of the same meteorite shower.
In the last Met. Bulletin 88, the following classifications and remarks are given:

I don't recall if Lafayette is actually on display right now, but the
Smithsonian folks have an outstanding picture of it among the pics they
keep in their office hallways. It is the most beautiful meteorite I've
seen. The flow lines are pristine and damn near radially symmetric, with

I stand corrected - it was Lafayette, Indiana, not Illinois.
I knew it lived at the Field Museum for a bit; didn't think they had to
drive that far to get it...!

Well, at least it's clear, everybody seems to agree ! :) (for Michael : the four
pics are the same rock)

If there are FeNi patches (nickel-iron) and maybe chondrules or
other tell-tale features, it would be proof beyond doubt. Just an
idea from Germany.
Hi again,
Yes I will probably try to slice it but I still wonder how :) I was planning to
just break it but if there's a doubt I'd prefer not :)
It's true that I forgot to say that it is clearly attracted to magnet and as the
micro picture shows there are (top of the picture) some brigh metalic
Dear Christian,
I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your endcut and your slice - wonderful!
Thanks Bernd!
I also appreciate the variety of inclusions. You never know what you're
going to get when you cut an 869. I have one that is already sliced but
needs work. Perhaps someone could shed some
Xavier,
Hematite is NOT attracted by a magnet. And it very often shows a smooth
dark red-brown to quasi black surface, often rounded when it is not in
(black shiny) crystals . Rarely is the rounded surface rough.
If metallic grains are visible, just follow Bernd's suggestion and make a
window.

Hi John and list,
I was there a couple of years ago also, and was very amazed and excited to
see these meteorites.
I made my kids join me, and they rather looked at the beautiful minerals!?
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
