Here's a recent article from Science Illustrated speculating on bolide impacts
triggering continental drift.

Hello list members,
the 982 grams Tafassasset was not sold so I decided to give it another chance
and put it again on ebay. But it'll be the last time.
After that, I'll cut it in slices to sell it slice by slice so it'll sell this
way.
So if you still want to buy it, here's the link :
Hey Steve,

I have a question regarding E-chondrites. I was told that Enstatite Chondrites
have a more gray (dark) matrix than an ordinary chondrite. They also contain
more metal (as a rule) than a typical H-chondrite. Now I always thought it was
impossible to recognize an E-chondrite by eye.

I noticed that with the heavily weathered examples they develop a yellow
sulfur looking powder in spots. The OC's tend to have a little more orange
rust color.
I'm not saying this is an accurate indicator but rather, I am wondering if
others have noticed this as well.

E chondrites have virtually no matrix. Most of the material between
chondrules and chondrule fragments is metal and sulfides.

Hi Everyone:
I just came back from our weekly Asteroid Lunch where I presented this
session!
Dukin' it out summarizes the session perfectly. There were somewhere
between 500 and 800 people in a room with 400 seats (I counted).
The talks literally went (with respect to being an impact event: no
From the exterior alone, I would have to agree that an E-chondrite is
almost indistinguishable from an O.C. The one E-chondrite I found in
Nevada looked like a very fresh O.C. -- presumably an H-chondrite based
on the magnetic attraction. Even after cutting a type specimen for
analysis, I was
I just received my autographed copy of Whetstone Mountains monograph.
I have to say an excellent job was done on this, and I am super pleased to have
one.
The documentation is an incredible read that I will certainly take time to read
more then once.
The fragment is got even had a nice spot of
Perhaps this is the exception that proves the rule, but I've long
marveled at the distinctively different crust of the EL6 Hvittis
(witnessed fall - 10/21/1901); it's an articulated stubble which looks
much like the surface of the spherical sauropod eggshell from South
America./d
Hi All,
I wholeheartedly concur with Greg -- I received my Whetstone Mountains
monograph
today from Dave, and it is a top-notch job. Excellent
photo-documentation of the
finds, and a terrific value for the small price Dave was asking.
Congrats to all

The mail service was a little slow, taking two weeks for my cubes to arrive,
but today arrive they did.
I notice Jeff's site shows these are almost sold out, so I'd like to add my
voice to the chorus and recommend that all who are considering purchasing one
or more of these fine cubes, do so
Hi Richard all,
I would like to agree with Richard's and other's who have commented of
Jeff's new scale cubes. I received mine today as well. Very, very nice!
Best regards,

Very nicely done, Dave. I'm looking forward to sitting back and reading
this.
Congratulations again to Jack and all others involved.

Hi Greg S., Jeff Gr., Rob M., and List,
Hard to tell in hand sample if a cut slice or an individual is an E
chondrite
but if the suspect is an EH3 / EL3 or an EH4 / EL4 with clearly discernible
chondrules and if it is not too severely
Listees,
Sonny Clary sliced a piece off this found desert specimen and mentioned that I
might want to let the List look at the remainder,in hopes I will get some
opinions. It is slightly heavier than similar terrestial rocks, makes a dark
streak, is attracted lightly to a neomydium mag, enough
I like the shape of the stone and the small rust spots on the
exterior. The geometric shapes (squarish or rectangular shapes) of
the inclusions worry me - as that does not occur much, if at all in
meteorites. I would have to hold it in my hand to say anymore. Cool
though...

Hello to the List,
This cut surface also shows small vesicles that make one wonder if it is one of
the few meteorites that have vesicles.
I would certainly have picked it up and submit for closer inspection.
Sonny is very experienced and has made some spectacular finds, I hope this one
Hi All,
If anyone is interested in possibly chasing down the December 16th

of radar returns that may be due to this fall. For those familiar
with archive NexRad data, check the images from KOAX (Omaha, NE) at

While I didn't purchase the monograph (my loss) I did spend two weeks
in the area hunting. If anyone is interested in looking at where I

I am pretty sure my ellipse covers at least part of the strewn field.
I have a 240-250 gram lot of this material for sale, it is the very last of
what I have for sale.
I will not have anymore of this until spring if I am lucky enough to find more.
The lot is many cut and polishes pieces, slices, end cuts, windowed individual,

The markings are very crisp.

Me to, Mine came in the mail today as well.
A measure of it's Cool Factor is how long it takes me to put it on a
microscope (My personal highest form of compliment) The shots are just taken
through a stereo scope but it nicely shows off the crisp detail.
Very nice Jeff! Well done!
