Hello,
I looked at the snow in Oukaimeden (where you can
skiing 70km SE of Marrakech). There's snow and cold
for a week.
I wonder how the freshly meteorites were found in such
a bad condition, in the mountains near Marrakech ?
And the size of the strewnfield (4,000 sq kilometers
) is
I was told by one of my best Moroccan suppliers that he has been working on
this fireball for two weeks, and has yet to find anyone who knows of pieces
being recovered. I sense a recycling of chergach or Bassi going on. I also know
the High Atlas should be well covered in snow right now.

Looking at this meteorite, found only days ago in Antarctica, it appears to me
to likely be a shergottite, looks like Shergotty!
The description of shiny fusion crust, small cryatals, steel grey interior
all of these suggest Martian to me.

Thanks so much for all of your help, I really appreciate it.
I was wondering how many people keep them inside those little plastic cases,
verses, leaving them naked to be stored like these? I wonder if the plastic
cases are just because people don't have a cabinet, or, would the cabinet need

Hi everybody,
It was already confirmed that there was a fall on the tichka mounataines,i
think it makes no sense to say anything bad against this fall..Moroccan dealers
are trust worthy people and they never play games as anyone might think it is
only recycling the previous falls ..Anyone who
Now I am confused, everyone is saying that the fall was near Marrakech, and in
the High Atlas Mountains, now you say some fell in the ocean? The Ocean is
hundreds of KM from there.
Is this now the biggest fall in history. Just confused on the different
information coming out. I know there was

Hey all,

I've been going through cleaning out some boxes of NWA XXX meteorites

Thanks for asking, Frank.
I just now bought a nice piece of NWA 5480 from Greg, who was kind enough to
cut it exactly to my specifications.
And while I was at it, I also bought a fragment of NWA 4590, Tamassint
angrite, to make more thin-sections. I already had some of those, and they are

Hi Anne,
Thank you again. When it comes to Thin Sections, Anne Black is... The

John,
That is correct. First post to the list, that way my box does not get flooded.
But oddly my box got barraged anyway. Did not think that so many would take
me up on the offer.
Stranger yet, is that you and the first one that DID post to the list were not
in the US.
Many that did

No worries mate. It was very generous of you to offer up what you did. And
I am happy for the one that did get in, my congratulations. I just need to
pay more attention, but I was kind of in a hurry.
But thanks again for offering up a great opportunity. Take care.
Cheers

for what I have seen in the photos, its many similar to the
last fall in morocco of some months ago - I have lost the
names seen I not buy other meteorites from Morocco from many
time - seen in this time moroccans not sale many, seen they
ask to much highest prices, is not a problem take pieces of
Eric,
I am posting this a second time since I didn't send it to the list as I had
intended.
Although I have seen meteorites this ugly, I am thinking Korra Korrabes, I
don't believe that any of these are meteorites. They appear to be artifacts
of iron prossessing, ie. slag.

Eric, Dan,
They look natural to me, but, at least the two that you have cut,
don't look like meteorites. Note the cavity in the middle of each -
they look much more like terrestrial concretions. That said, some of
your specimens do look like the weathered pallasite coming out of
