Adam and Greg,
The picture (below) on Martin's site does support the similar appearance. If
so, then Estacado is a special meteorite also...based on Dr. Rubin's analysis
of Spade. Also, 35 miles does seem like a big strewn field but certainly not
a stretch (to me) to be the same material. A
the two
are not paired.
Researchers?

IF they are really paired, this would imply that several stones may have fallen.
The Estacado main mass weighs 290 kg, the Spade single mass weighs
Hello again,
I just studied my Estacado thin section (that I purchased from
AL Mitterling in 1999) under crossed polars and compared
the extinction behavior of its olivine crystals to the description
given in A. Rubin's paper: ... olivine in Spade currently exhibits
undulose extinction and lacks
Hello once again,
Another possible inconsistency:
My Estacado thin section measures 2.3 x 1.6 cm (3.68 cm^2)
and I found at least 7 relict POP chondrules and 1 relict, barred
chondrule.
This would also be in clear contrast to A.E. Rubin's statement:
The impact melt origin of [Spade] is

my opinion making it rare. I think all suspected pairings should be
investigated to keep the books clean, so to speak.
All the best,

The problem is that everyone is jonesing for another strewnfield after the
spectacular PF fall. Hope springs eternal, yadda yadda...

Hi All:
Thought I would give you a taste of this new American meteorite.
This is the SPADE, Texas H6 and annealed impact melt breccia. I should have
slices ready for sale tonite. The price will be at the lowest end for an
impact melt (not becasue this one ISN'T worth it) so you can afford a
