Didn't a famous Victorian explorer claim once that he had found a
massive meteorite in Egypt the size of a mountain/hill? (There have been
field expeditions, but no-one has ever found it) - Anyone know about
this?
I take it there is no connection with the new discoveries in Egypt?

Dear List,
Just a quick note to let you know about a few key auctions ending soon.
The first is an unclassified meteorite that is 85% metal and 15% silicates.
At $20.00 a gram it represents a bargain on its coolness factor alone:
The story below says the impact was at 76,000 mph or 111,500 feet per second. That
sounds too high to me...by a factor of 3 or 4. Any comments out there?

I've read someplace that a meteors can average ~110,000 Mph, depending
on size.
So David is probably close when we says 76,000 Mph due to the mass

Hi Bernd and Mike,
to me it's looking just as typical IAB-iron should look alike.
It's not only looking like Odessa, it's looking like Morasko (which was an
IAB before and many can't find a reason, why it's now a IIICD) and even in a
very, very few Canyons you can find such nice cohenite wormlets
Martin, re-read my email. There is no problem, I did not say Matteo's email
was stupid.
I did say that it does not look like Odessa, and I have many pieces of

there's a substantial fragment still laying in the fall site...probably not

Hey John
They have spent quite a bit of time looking for it with no luck so far.
Holding a fresh fall, without gloves, and not an ordinary chondrite, but
perhaps a Eucrite or one of the SNC's... Is it just me, or was that a
bungled recovery?
