Hello the list,
Thanks for the information about this on-line
version of The Catalogue of Meteorites by Monica Grady. I did not know that it
was available on line.

This was either a sporadic, or perhaps a Taurid fireball. In the latter
case, this would be a piece of debris from comet Encke, not Halley.

Or perhaps this is a chondrite with large metal veins, a la Portales Valley?
Just a thought. I think it is more likely that the news report is simply in

New Mars Meteorite Found In Morocco (NWA 1950)
Below an excerpt from Meteoritical Bulletin 88-2 that announces the
discovery of a new Mars meteorite found in Morocco, NWA 1950.
This increases the number of Mars meteorites to 29.

Dear Ron, and List,
It should be noted that this is a VERY special find - the first
non-Antarctic Martian lherzolite/peridotite! That's the problem
with the term shergottite - we mostly think of basalts when we
hear it. But a lherzolite has not much in common with a basalt,
and if we compare the
Hello Norbert,
I wonder why it is still the convention to name this Martian group

historically included as a subgroup within the shergottite class, and
therefore its members were called lherzolitic shergottites (or

All,
We've been lucky enough to obtain a good portion of the mass of NWA 1465, a recently discovered CV3. This CV3 is quite unusual, and was originally ungrouped. I've been waiting until the full abstract was released before making pieces available to collectors. The price will be $25 per gram If

Probably a misquote from a mistranslation of the Indian language.
Bet it was meant to be"between Mars and Jupiter" not "from" Mars or Jupter.
If so the asteroid belt is the origin.

What Allan is alluding to, is that the usage of the
term SNC has now gone out of favor. Most editors
are replacing this term with . . . like the one that
Allan suggested.

Sorry, but this isn't correct.
One can indeed see meteors from a shower when the radiant is below the
horizon. Meteors do not cluster at the radiant point, but rather appear all
over the sky.

Hello all,
As usual I goofed...Norbert said NWA 1950 was closer to a Chassignite and not
a Nakhlite...because it is has over 50% olivine. And after reviewing the
Bulletin it appears it has about 30% pigeonite(a clinopyroxene). So it really
is in between a Chassignite and a Nakhlite. Which got

Interesting theory about Venus's atmosphere being blown off by a monster

Hi,
Another interesting aspect of getting Venus rocks to land on Earth
is the orbit (or orbits) required to do it.
Since Venus orbits closer to the Sun than the Earth, its orbital
velocity (35,000 m/sec) is greater than the Earth's (29,800 m/sec).
While there are a large variety of orbits
