Hello All,
Well, I've finally unloaded the truck and downloaded my camera images of our
trip to the highly successful "99th Year Anniversary" Holbrook Meteorite Hunt.
After Moni got home from work we stayed-up late last night reviewing all of the
images. I'm sure glad that Ben Fisler's son, E

Hi List,
Thanks for all of the nice responses to my post. I would have to agree
with Michael about how relaxing it can be wandering around out in the
field enjoying the outdoors.
Thanks,Sonny

Yup, he has found more than most and I really appeciate his efforts!
I tell Sonny what I once told Mike Farmer - I think a lot of people
on this forum appeciate what he (and others like him) do even if they
are quiet most of the time.

With the TKW going up by a factor of 25, I guess that means Fukang

Now that is an amazing looking meteorite... Could you imagine walking up on

Maybe time to take a little hike around the Chinese countryside... :)
Wouldn't it be fun to be part of a huge discovery like that?!

Hi Darryl and List,
You are correct but, to use your term, my disparagement comes from years of
seeing iron ore being offered on eBay as genuine meteorites. It was so
widespread that our thin market came up with the term "The China Syndrome."

Hi Adam.List..
Methinks you're going much too far in your disparagement of the Chinese.
As to specifics, I've exchanged words with a curator of meteorites in China
regarding said specimen and your conjecture is unfounded. This specimen is on
the radar.
All the best / Darryl

It looks like the Fukang main mass has just been found! 25 tons of Pallasite!
It will probably be chopped into little pieces, exported as iron ore to get

It might even turn out to be a pairing of Armanty (Iron, IIIE ; found in Altay

If it does turn out to be a stony-iron, this hints at Fukang.

And look what they doing. Instead of transport this monster and then
inspect, they start from cutting it in different places, like kids that cant
