Hi List,
There are 58 new Antarctic meteorites approved (Grove Mountains).
Most are OC's, but there is also a ureilite and a meso.

Hi List,
The Imilchil iron meteorite is now official. It's official name is Agoudal

Hello All,
1) I think this is making a mountain out of a molehill. Dr.
Jenniskens went through the work of obtaining the type specimen and he
should be able to work on it as he sees fit. If that delays the
publication of the meteorite for a few months, it doesn't matter.
Doing so does not
Hello Michael, Carl,
Michael: You're assuming far too much about his motives.
Carl: I think he's figured that out by now. The delay still doesn't
affect anyone in a tangible way.
Regards,
Jason

Nobody knows what exploded over Siberia in 1908 but the discovery
of the first fragments could finally solve the mystery
Just a small correction, not to blow my own horn, but to clear up a
misconception in Jason's post.

rights) -- No. Without the 'consortium,' publicly posted numbers,
etc. we would have much less of an idea of where/how many of
Are those supposed to be meteorites? The top one looks like an iron
meteorite. The other two are obvious meteorwrongs. If Tunguska had
been an iron, we would have found more of it by now. I didn't even
bother to read the article, after seeing that joke of a photo. LOL.

Sounds like somebody has bypassed scientific protocol in order to get their 15
minutes of fame to me. One of the items looks like a weathered out concretion!
It is embarrassing that this garbage was even published,

Holy cow, those rocks look like typical wrongs new hunters collect.
But you know, active river bottoms are the prime location to find
meteorites! And really, he dug 10 entire holes? 10?! So much time,
effort, and commitment must have gone into those 10 holes, because we
all know that all you
Jason,
And keep in mind I was the one maintaining the filed data field for
the Garmin GPS (gdp) files daily on the project and GE KMZ for finds.
Not all meteorites found have SM numbers. Can not speak for that
process for Novato.
While I agree 100% that it's nice to have field datalord
Sound like a Bobby Boucher Cinderella story to me. From water-boy to pro ball
player with no effort whatsoever. Dig a few holes as seen on TV and you can
find 3 different types of self-paired to a famous event meteorites even though
none have ever been found by real professionals!
I am amazed
Bull pucky.

Then there is also the puzzle of why Zlobin has waited so long to
analyse his samples. It’s not hard to imagine that the political changes that
engulfed the Soviet Union in the year after his expedition may
have played a role in this, but it still requires some explaining.

Analyse is a perfectly acceptable spelling, and is the standard way of
spelling the word in British English.

Hi Jim/List,

Hi Rob,
No, I am very fair I think. My reasoning was to provide two different
samples of field recovery. Sutters Mill was, IMO, an exception and
not the norm. It did not reflect an accepted practice. So I used
Stanfield as a perfect example of the difference. It is not the
normal condition to
Hi Jim,
Okay -- it seemed like you were making a point of singling out
Stanfield as some anomaly, but I gather you were just mentioning
it because it's the most recent case and would seem to signal
a return to the old ways after the rare triplet of coordinate
sharing on Sutter's Mill, Battle

Rob, Exactly. During the hunting frenzy, it's normal to not share
data. Back to the norm...yes. Sharing, for example, may occur
between hunters in the field but not the general public. I would not
have an issue sharing data in the field with most hunters I know. So,
for example if we were

A newly published (4/29/13) article on Tunguska in PDF format is
available for free download from the Cornell University Library. I
can't say I agree with calling it the discovery of meteorites--I
think impact glass would be a better description, but it's an

It has been interesting reading some of the posts that have come to my
attention. I thought I would take the time to answer this one.
Regarding the following:
