The data I read on Revelstoke was different than what is reported in the
Meteoritical Bulletin. Still, 10mg is very small, barely ponderable and almost
a micrometeorite!

Here is what I have been able to summarize:
Smallest find: Yamato 8333 10mg provided there are no pairings
Smallest TKW for a witnessed fall: Revelstoke ~1 gram
Smallest completely crusted individual from a witnessed fall: Bensour ~48mg
Take Care,
Adam
Hello Listers

Hi Shawn,
I supposed it was found by eye during a careful search. Other stones
were likely found in the immediate vicinity and a hands and knees
search probably found it. Or, a strong magnet dragged along the
surface in that area.
Metal detectors are of limited use for specimens of that size -

Hello Listers
Imagine if the 10mg Yamato 8333 spec was on the open market, I wonder how much
it would go for?
I would like a grain of it please, and here is my $1000 for it :)

From:
The L5 Vilna (Feb 5, 1967 fall) Alberta was a witnessed fall (camera and
eye) was recovered as 2 fragments of 94mg and 48mg recovered by
searchers on snow. The Revelstoke was almost mud (less than 1 gram) on snow.

Michael,
I would not worry too much about having an official certificate. I think the
specimen you have is quite nice and looks like a meteorite, specifically a CD.
Inspiring people won't require a certificate, but a nice brass plaque should do
the trick. Maybe you can ask the library to
There are several other very small meteorites...
Khatyrka, announced in June. Although it is listed as 0.1 g in the MB
database, if you read the text, you see that there are only 10
particles, all 1 mm. These could well have an actual cumulative mass
of 10 mg.

Hi Bulletin Watchers,
18 new OC approvals, all from the NWA dense collection area. Nothing
too much to get excited about here, from a collector standpoint. But,
we have seen a definite increase in approvals in recent months (or so
it seems), and the number of official meteorites continues to

With my most recent batches of submissions, I noticed that the more
interesting classifications were/are often held up due to insufficient
analytical justification (according to the folks in charge of
approving classifications). Equilibrated OC's all went through in a

As a collector first, dealer second, and passionate meteorite nut

meteorite collections is a top priority for all of us. Whether it is
a large museum like the Smithsonian or a small micromount collector,

Do not panic. I do not think this is an epic-level scammer of the
