When I travelled to Ensisheim this year (Edinburgh - London - Basel), I
carried my display specimens, including some very valuable specimens
from our collection, and comprising all types of meteorite, in my hand
luggage without any problems. I cannot speak for all carriers, but as
far as I

On the contrary, it is generally accepted the the vast majority of the
jagged shrapnel fragments found were formed when the larger masses
came into direct contact with permafrost and bedrock. Such is said by
Buchwald, Krinov, and..., well, to be frank, I've gone through
Hi Fred, List,
How does that explain all the shrapnel found in the sides of the trees or holes
straight through standing trees? Surely shrapnel was produced both on the way
down and on impact?
I have pieces that seem to have no sign of ablation, just lots of shear lines.

Hi Graham, Jason, Fred, Maurizio and all,

Film...
On some individuals, some of the freshly broken edges were slightly melted.
It indicated that all meteorites were from one mass which fragmented in the

Hello Graham, All,
On the contrary, the typical pieces of shrapnel found were in my
opinion formed exclusively on impact - the force of the explosive
impacts was certainly adequate to drive sizable fragments through
practically any tree (well, let's exclude things like Sequoias...).

Hi all,
With all the talk about melting and twisting of metal on the Sikhote
Alin meteorite it got me to wondering what very fresh fusion crust looks
like on an iron meteorite. I mean like the day it fell fresh, and not
like the Sikhote.
Everyone here pretty much knows what fresh crust

I was under the impression (read it somewhere) that most modern=collected
Sikhote-Alin fragments are rusty and are cleaned in rock tumblers. If so, could
not that dull/round formerly sharp edges and make them look melted?

Hi Martin, Thank you for sharing...
Those photos are a little too distant to see any detail... I can see it
has a satin like, or velvety like surface, but a closeup of the surface
detail is what I was looking for.

Those are gorgeous irons by the way!

Well for close-ups you have to come to Vienna, the most beautiful display
hall for meteorites on Earth - with a lot of iron falls.
Best is, you're planning your visit to Ensiheim with a stop-over in Vienna
before.

Darren, I just looked at 119 individual pieces of shrapnel fragments under a
microscope. They are rather small and range in size from 30 grams to less than
one gram. It looks to me that every one of them shows some feature of melting.

Been trying to figure out how that could happen. It does not look like it

I've often thought about such a term - the rarest meteorite.
The rarest meteorite would of course be smallest ungrouped meteorite,
for one could feasibly conceive of a 1-2g unique meteorite. When a

Well, there's always Albion, though that's quite a different beast. I
believe the druzy vugs found in that are accepted to be a product of

By the look of the specimen, I think it's safe to say that the bubbles
are the result of an accumulation
Jason, list,

whether ungrouped or even a previously unknown type or new
classification would not be the deciding factor in determining rarity at

I agree with you, I'm just teasing you a bit... ;) You needn't defend

the above, and/or just one factor, as in your rare
