Hello, is this a good detector for meteorite hunting? Any other good
alternative?
Oh go on, let me.. drum roll.. 'You don't need a metal detector just go into
the woods, find a forked stick...'
(sorry just couldn't resist that one!) :)

I wondering if at some time as more of these meta or'7-s' are found, there
could be classification system implemented like there currently is for the
3-type. There is 3.0 through 3.9 based on further analysis; how about a 6.1
through 6.9, were the higher number represent more
Hi Count, Andre, List,
A used VSAT can be had for around $200-$300, GB for about $250, and a
used GB2 for around $500 maybe less depending on if you can find a deal.
New, the GB2 costs about $700. You are right, a less expensive detector
WILL in fact work for finding high iron stone
Hi all:
Am wondering if anyone has documentation that the Kuznetsovo meteorite hit a
house? Thanks in advance,

Aloha mai kakou, I have a couple of new meteorites to introduce:
NWA 6386 - a moderately shocked diogenite cataclastic breccia with closely
packed clasts. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful and intriguing
diogenite meteorites around, and its dense hardness allows a mirror polish on
one
Greetings Gary and List,
I want to say how amazing and unique this new material is. I have had
the pleasure of working with some of this material first-hand, and I
greatly enjoyed the process because these meteorites are so
interesting.
NWA 6391 is unlike any diogenite I have ever seen. It has

Dave, thanks for sharing this article. I found it very interesting
and admit that I had never given a second thought to the possibility
of meteorites being buried in sedimentary rock just as once living
organisms. I also found the information on their fossilization very

This is very interesting information and I would like to ask if there are
persons on List who could tell me if Nevada has Ordovician limestone deposits
recorded and where I could access such data.
Thank you in advance,

As a fossil collector, I can tell you that there are tons of
meteor-wrongs in sedimentary rock. The main reason is that a lot of
metallic concretions form in sedimentary rock diagenetically; hematite
nodules, iron phosphates, pyrite concretions, marcasite, etc.
So you would find good layers of
The fossil meteorites in question are Ordovician, L-chondrites that are
mineralogically equivalent to around 20% of modern L-chondrites. All are
presumed to have originated from a single asteroid collision event. Also
interesting is that modern L-chondrites in this family have exposure ages
Thank you for the map, Yinan. I agree that there will be more meteor wrongs
than meteorites found. The usual field tests (I like that alteration halo)
followed by cutting and microscopy would be determinative for my needs. I think
it would be way cool to recover, classify and name a fossil

Count Deiro inquires:
Have you, or any others on List, found a fossil meteorite in situ?
Considering the high degree of terrestrialization of Ordovician/fossil
meteorites
(usually the chromite content is the only hint it once was meteoritic) and also
considering the extremely low number (5 or
Yes I for one
I have four candidates from the Eastern Pennsylvania Anthracite Field. They
all were found in overburden/coal piles and not totally in situ per se. They
pass muster under field identification but haven't been studied.
One is water mellonshapped approx 18 x 10 inch.( looks a lot
That is awesome!!

Why does it have to be Ordovician Limestone? Could it be Cretaceous? There is
a lot of Cretaceous Limestone in Texas. I used to live in Austin and it's
everywhere. I used to find all kinds of fossil shells during my trips; I even
found a Crocodile's tooth on a research study site
Hello Bernd,
I believe those numbers are from a specific incident and may have been those
found in the tiles on the floor where they were first identified by an astute
geologist attending a function there. They were subsequently traced back to

quarry ( Brunflo?) Subsequently many more
All the finds have been Ordovician, because the evidence is that they came
from a single event, which resulted in an approximately 100-fold increase in
the meteorite fall rate, lasting for 1-2 million years. In any other
sedimentary material, you'd expect only 1% as many fossil meteorites- and
Hello List Members,
I was hoping someone could help me with this one.
I have 2 pallasites that are starting to show signs of rusting, an Admire
and Fukang.
Can someone please tell me what I can do to stop the rusting. Is there a way
to clean
them up and seal it against any further rusting.
Hello Tim,
It looks like it is time to contact Bill Mason, also known as Dr. Rust, his
website is:

(http://www.paleobond.com)
He is a very friendly guy, just ask him for his meteorite-kit.
It will help with the Fukang. But
Hi Tim,
The only way to stop the rusting is to send your slices to me. This
dry Nevada climate will most certainly stop the rusting! : )
