Hi,
Just to say that my Ex Russian Academy of Science, Ex-Krinov 334g Sikote
Alin ends soon
A chance to get a piece that rises above all the thousands of other SAs out
there - BTW not joking about the babyspit either - I have a great pic of my
youngest chewing on it eeew!!!
I decided last night to give my nwa 1685,(THE BLACK
NWA),a real close look,like never before.I found near
where the shiny black crust meets the break point on
one end,thier is a round chondrule about 8 mm sticking
out that is coverd all over by the black crust.It is
like a black mole just sticking
Hi Steve and List,
How did this particular NWA get all this shiny black crust?
This is one of the reasons why Dean's BL stone should really get classified
officially! This somewhat wet look of the crust does remind me a little of
achondritic crusts - eucrites, in particular, just think of

How embarassing for geologists everywhere and another

ripped off.

Hi list, The list was talking about fusion crust so I posted concerning a
crystal looking structure found in the crust of NWA 2371.
This has sparked some interesting comments. So much so, I am cutting some
more, putting an extra careful 1/4 micron polish on it and taking some better

streak. Am I imagining it, or can you detect some
concentric banding, convex towards the upper left

well be

Hi Ken List
I like this one. It's not petrified wood, but it's only $2000 and
heck I already have some Pet-wood anyway. And from what I can tell
from all the pictures, I won't have to worry about any crust getting
in the way of my seeing all the chondrules. I belive this to be a

Steve,
When you talk about or describe a meteorite, like you always do. Could you
post a photo so we know what you are talking about? I always read your posts,
but never know what the meteorite you are talking about looks like. I am always
left wondering what piece(s) you are talking about.
Hello all,
This piece would make a good addition to my meteorwrong gallery. I am going
to bid on it so I can add it to my meteorwrong collection. Maybe soon you will
see it HERE.
Thanks,

Hi list, Tom Phillips here, I have some crust micrographs taken in
reflected cross polarized light of a thick slice of NWA 2371 an H4. The
heating/cooling caused the crust to crystallize like nothing I have seen
before.
I haven't posted them to the Gallery yet but it is well worth the
That is something that could be confused with porphyritic texture.
Very interesting.

Hello all
While in Tucson I was fortunate enough to find a remote little tent that had
some larger than usual pieces of Al Mahbas.
They are all colorful, weathered nodules and the following weights are
available:
130.2 grams
75.9 grams
65.0 grams
33.7 grams
29.9 grams
29.3 grams

It's probably impossible to say precisely what that melt is without
tapping into those gas bubbles and checking out the composition of
whatever gas (if any) is in there.
Just because there is no other melt within the matrix of the meteorite

Well Dear Ladies;
I find my personal friend, and buddy, Maria Haas from Michigan to be far
superior a meteorite hunter than any of the other ladies on the list and

for those of you who never saw this, I went to Al

Hello Rob, All,
Looks a lot more like NWA 4482 to me...just a different pallasite.
I bought a piece of a pallasite that I was told was Al Mahbas as
well - definitely not desert varnished like it, and visually typical
of 4482...

Jason

The difference is that the main mass was found some
miles away, large pieces, more 70 kilograms, all
rusted and rotted out. It broke apart when they dug it
up. It is a very old meteorite. Still a pallasite
though. I myself found pieces of the meteorite before
the patrol chased us away.

Does anyone have a Park Forest slice (dual-litho) or individual stone for sale??
I participated in the hunt for the three days.. and came home with nothing.
Sad, but true.
Please contact me off list with ANY offers. Thank you.
